The publication "Market Approach to The Environment Protection" is a naughty contribution to searching acceptable economic and non-economic approach to environmental policies and human behavior towards the nature. Based on "Free Market Environmentalism" thesis the authors fail in correct and convincing explanation of role of property rights and market transactions in the environment. They adopt FME conception without any criticism and with no real application to the EU and the Czech environment. Neither free market nor property rights on them own do provide any advantage to non-market regulations, particularly when a high rate of human failure exists on markets as well as in governments. Neither theoretically nor practically the publication could be found as beneficial except of an example of a naughty writing professionally, formally and by reasoning.

Keywords: Environmental policy; Scarce resources; Natural resources; Property rights; Market effectiveness; Free market Environmentalism; Climatic change; Externalities; Homo economicus; Primitive economics.
JEL classification: Q00
