Earth for Sale

"Earth for Sale" critically examines how governments are increasingly entrusting the protection of nature to powerful private corporations through various market-based schemes, such as carbon trading and biodiversity credits. Authored by renowned activist Maude Barlow, the book explores the dangers of financializing and commodifying the natural world, highlighting the potential consequences of this corporate-driven approach. Through detailed research and examples, it warns against allowing the safeguarding of the environment to become driven by profit motives.
