Tom Friedman/NYT roots for freedom and property rights as ways to propel Chinese progress along the enviro Kuznets curve
Here’s the money quote from Tom Friedman‘s interesting op-ed at the Sunday New York Times:
“The problem for the ruling Communist Party is this: China can’t have a greener
society without empowering citizens to become watchdogs and allowing them to sue
local businesses and governments that pollute, and it can’t have a more
knowledge-intensive innovation society without a freer flow of information and
experimentation.“
Spoken like a true enviro-Nazi!
