�Join the Green Tea Party�

Professor Terry Anderson

Executive Director for PERC and Senior Fellow, Hoover Institute

STUDENTS, FACULTY, AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC ARE ALL WELCOME TO ATTEND.

As the presidential campaign heats up, it would be nice to see some
environmental leadership. Unfortunately, neither political party is
providing it. Democrats keep throwing money and regulations at environmental
problems and Republicans keep arguing that a focus on jobs and the economy
must trump environmental protection. It is time for a movement that brings
environmental quality through economic prosperity. It's time for a Green Tea
Party.

Terry Anderson is the Executive Director of PERC (the Property and
Environment Research Center), a leading center for free market
environmentalism and a forum for disseminating related research and
information to a wide audience. Anderson is the author or editor of thirty
books. His two most recent books are The Not So Wild, Wild West: Property
Rights on the Frontier (Stanford University Press) with P.J. Hill, and You
Have to Admit It's Getting Better: From Economic Prosperity to Environmental
Quality (Hoover Institution Press). Anderson has published widely in both
professional journals and the popular press, including the Wall Street
Journal, the Christian Science Monitor, and Fly Fisherman. He is a
frequently requested lecturer, known for his articulate and provocative
presentations.

During his career at Montana State University, Anderson won several
outstanding teaching awards and is now professor emeritus of economics. He
is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution and has been a visiting scholar
at Oxford University, the University of Basel, and Cornell University Law
School. He received his Ph.D. in economics from the University of Washington
in 1972 and was awarded a Fulbright Research Fellowship to Canterbury
University. Anderson is an avid outdoorsman who enjoys hunting, fishing,
skiing and hiking.
