Résumé
What is the role of individual citizens in shaping and creating markets? This paper argues that as consumers, investors, users and voters, citizens can and should play an active role in bringing about markets which will facilitate a green lifestyle. In this way, citizens can make a significant difference in the context of climate change. The paper also discusses how citizens can be sufficiently knowledgeable and coordinated for market shaping. Finally, the chapter considers whether the use of purchasing power to shape markets is permissible.
