Economics and the Environment
Lively and accessible in style -- yet rigorous and comprehensive in content -- this text explores environmental economics from the perspective of four basic questions: How much pollution is too much? Is government up to the job? How can we do better? How can we resolve global issues? It examines a broad range of topics applicable to today's policy debates, and presents not only the "standard analysis," but also full-length treatments of important issues at the cutting edge of environmental policy debates that are usually ignored by other texts. Timely examples are integrated throughout.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
