Values, Theory, Observation and Faith in Environmental Economics: An Examination of the Growth Follows Amenities Doctrine Jon R. Miller University of Idaho The Growth Follows Amenities Doctrine The West is changing, which greatly concerns those who want it to stay the same, to maintain a character and culture closely linked to commodity service flows from the natural environment, e.g., agriculture, wood products, hydropower, mining, and fishing and hunting. But not all resist change in the West. In fact, many advocate changes toward a so- called New West, characterized by a high quality of life and economic prosperity uncoupled from commodity extraction. 1 The Growth Follows Amenities Doctrine (GrowthFAD) supports this New West advocacy. Like all doctrine, GrowthFAD combines values, theory, empirical observation and faith in support of an idea. In this case the idea is that economic prosperity is linked to amenity flows from the natural environment, directly through consumption of what is often called in mainstream economics non-wage benefits, and indirectly through attraction of productive resources, especially labor. 2 Furthermore, because commodity extraction reduces amenities, policy for regional growth should curtail extraction, or at the very least, not mourn its natural demise. In the following, the author touches on values, empirical observation, theory and faith in an attempt to shed some light on GrowthFAD, one of the most interesting environmental/economic doctrines in some time. GrowthFAD and Green Values In their hearts, believers in GrowthFAD have Green values, but for rhetorical reasons these often give way to standard economic argument. To a Green, actions are good if they protect or improve the environment, promote social justice, encourage small-scale (local) decision making, and do no violence. 3 The first of the four Green pillars is the most relevant here. Greens are more likely to lift the natural environment from its role as a storehouse
