This text takes on the critical controversies in environmental law
in the late 1990s: 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. Daniel Farber steers a middle course between the
"bean counters," who advocate strict cost-benefit analysis, and the
"tree huggers," who favour environmental protection at any cost.
The book explores 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 path
through the thickets surrounding environmental policy.
