Description:
Beyond issues of convenience, style, safety, innovation, and utility, automobiles raise questions about economics and the ways that markets work Almost all of our automobile problems arise from the car's generation of external costs. These costs, when added to the private costs of driving, make driving an expensive habit. And by evaluating this habit from an economic perspective, we can save lives, use less gasoline, and decrease pollution. In his examination of automobiles, driving habits, and government policies, Richard C. Porter presents an analysis and critique of cars and the ways they are regulated. His conclusions are both surprising and compelling.
