| Tiivistelmä: | This paper advances two hypotheses. First, the extent of an environmentally degrading economic activity is a function of the balance of power between the winners who derive net benefits from the activity, and the losers, who bear net costs. Second, greater inequalities of power and wealth lead, all else equal , to more environmental degradation. The author poses three basis questions: Who are the winners? Who are the losers? Why are the winners able to impose costs on the losers? |
