Economics and the environment

"The second edition of Economics and the Environment centers around four focused questions: How much pollution is too much? Is government up to the job? How can we do better? How can we resolve global issues?".

"Using these questions as guidelines, Goodstein develops the economic tools students need to explore solutions to environmental problems. In the process, the book covers a wealth of current examples, from global warming, to population growth, to urban air pollution and energy policy, to chemical regulation and landfill siting."--BOOK JACKET.
