“While travelling through the Bolivian Amazon, I read Market Ecology, a sharp, unconventional text by Jesús Huerta de Soto. Its central claim is deceptively simple: environmental sustainability and economic freedom are not at odds. On the contrary, secure property rights, voluntary exchange, and decentralised governance may be the most effective tools for ecological stewardship. Bolivia offers a telling example. In Parque Machía, near Cochabamba, it is community consensus — not state decree — that keeps environmental norms intact.” (08/12/25)
