Eco-Pragmatism Making Sensible Environmental Decisions in an Uncertain World
- Binding: Hardcover

Description:
As a nation, we are committed in principle to environmental protection. But on a practical level, bitter debates continue to rage over exactly what that means. Eco-pragmatism takes on the most critical controversies in environmental law today: how to assess the values of future environmental benefits; how to use economic measurements of environmental values; and how to streamline the regulatory process to respond to changing scientific data. Farber steers a middle course between the "bean counters, " who advocate strict cost-benefit analysis, and the "tree huggers, " who favor environmental protection at any cost.
Expand description
Eco-pragmatism explores -- clearly and accessibly -- the fundamental issues in environmental economics, the philosophical disputes over the legitimacy of cost-benefit analysis, and the legal issues involved in applying and interpreting complex environmental statues. Synthesizing the best of our existing regulatory regime, Farber's analysis cuts a clear and sensible path through the thickets surrounding environmental policy.
