Human Rights vs. Right Based Fishing: The Ideological Battleground in Siem Reap
"While many of the ‘usual suspects’ spoke openly about the need for private property, ITQs and similar terms in relation to fisheries governance, some adapted the language and thereby masked their underlying belief in private property as the one and only solution.

Terrible Economics, Ecosystems and Banking [TEEB]
"As the TEEB synthesis report notes, there is big money in these schemes with the market for wetland credits in the USA estimated at $1.1 to $1.8 billion.

The Virgin Fallacy: From the Famine Cotton Board to the Millennium Village Project
"The cover story in The Economist (June 1997) was “Emerging Africa.” It was a classic display of the arrogant paternalism that has come to be the hallmark of the new humanitarianism."
