Free Market/spec Sale/avail Hard Only

Anderson and Leal develop the focus and conclusions of the controversial research into improving environmental quality by using free market methods. These conclusions challenge many frequently espoused environmental policies. To make their points, the authors compare the incentives and information costs facing free market participants to those faced by individuals and bureaucrats under a system of active government environmental policy. They support their arguments with examples covering land and water management, energy development, and outdoor recreation. Chapters dealing with ocean management and pollution control point out the difficulties of the free market solution. ISBN 0-8133-1101-2: $33.50.
