有钱就可以破坏环境吗?这是美国公众最近热烈争论的话题之一。作者从搞碳补偿说起,论及资本主义的自由交换原则,反问这种交易原则是否还可以推广到环境保护以外的诸多领域中。若万事皆可交易,富人便可买断他人非议的权利,穷人则可以为了钱永远闭上嘴,资本主义可真是个金钱万能的社会。 Can money damage the environment? This is one of the hot topics that the American public recently debated. The author starts with engaging in carbon compensation and talks about the principle of free exchange of capitalism. He asks whether this kind of transaction principle can also be extended to many fields other than environmental protection. If everything can be traded, the rich can buy off the right of others to criticize. The poor can always shut their mouths for money. Capitalism can really be a omnipotent society.
