In the book, Hsu argues that capitalism is a form of economic governance, steered by political choices; and that rescuing the Earth from human-caused pollution and climate change requires harnessing the power of capitalism, not rejecting it, and not idolizing it: "Capitalism is the most powerful economic engine for transformation, and if only it can be directed toward protection and repair of the environment, it holds out the best hope for saving humankind from its own errant political choices." -- Shi-Ling Hsu Hsu is an expert in the areas of environmental law, natural resource law, climate change, law and economics, and property. He has published in a wide variety of legal journals and co-authored a casebook, Ocean and Coastal Resources Law (Wolters Kluwer 2019). Prior to entering academia, Hsu was a senior attorney and economist for the Environmental Law Institute in Washington, D.C. He also practiced law in California, both for the City and County of San Francisco and the law firm of Fenwick & West in Palo Alto.

She just accepted a remote position with the Environment and Natural Resources Division of the Department of Justice in Washington, D.C. for her final semester of law school. After taking the bar, she plans on moving to Colorado, pursuing a career in environmental and land use law --and hiking a lot! "In the Summer of 2021, I had the opportunity to extern with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. During my externship, I was named as a qualified representative on a case in which I cross examined the petitioner at a Division of Administrative Hearings (DOAH) proceeding. Additionally, I was able to submit my own motions to DOAH, help in the discovery process of an active case, and conduct legal research for attorneys in the office. Soon after, in the Fall of 2021, I externed at the City of Tallahassee as the land use extern for the City's Attorney's Office. There, I conducted legal research pertaining to land use issues concerning the municipality, met with employees from several departments within the City, and analyzed ordinance provisions in Tallahassee's Code. I have been very lucky to have wonderful supervisors at both of my externship placements. They allowed me the freedom to learn on my own while always being there to answer any questions I had."
