Abstract
Application of mainstream economics to the environment leads us, inexorably it seems, to positions that leave many of us at least a little bit uneasy. We were driven to these positions by a series of maintained assumptions of our discipline that are inherently ethical in effect, if not necessarily in conscious intent. It follows that much of what we do implements a moral theory, but it is a rather odd moral theory. Can environmental ethics help us sort things out and come in the end to conclusions that we believe are more defensible morally?
