WHAT DOES ECO-CAPITALISM MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Eco-capitalism

Eco-capitalism, also known as environmental capitalism or green capitalism, is the view that capital exists in nature as "natural capital" on which all wealth depends, and therefore, market-based government policy instruments should be used to resolve environmental problems. The term "Blue Greens" is often applied to those who espouse eco-capitalism. This can either be Greens who accept or favor free market principles to achieve environmental aims or conservatives or liberals who espouse Green policies or, more generally, environmental concerns. The term should be contrasted with Red Greens.
