Comment on Dolan on austrian eConomiCs anD environmentalism

ABSTRACT: We welcome Professor Dolan’s (2014) contribution to Austrian economics, and the contributions of all economists associated with the Austrian school of thought to environmental issues. Although not an Austrian economist himself, Dolan has made more of a contribution to the praxeological school than perhaps any other non-Austrian economist. An expert in environmental economics, Dolan (2014) is an attempt to assess the Austrian contribution to this field. He finds it wanting. Sad to say, I must make the same assessment of Dolan (2014). My claim is that his misunderstanding of Austrian economics is only matched by his mischar-acterization of free market environmentalism
