For Friday

Questions to consider for Friday's discussion

• Do you think all aspects of ecosystems can be reduced to monetary values? If not, then what features cannot be monetarized? If so, then how would you address intangible aspects?
• Do you agree with the first author's (the one in favor of monetarization) assertion that distributional factors are unimportant? Why or why not?
• As the other author argues, are knowledge of many ecosystem services is incomplete. Can this fact be reconciled with the assumptions underlying the logic of monetarization? What about the fact that some services are not exchangeable?
