This publication is concerned with two major current debates in
public policy in all affluent societies. One is the widespread
concern with the quality of the natural environment-the quality of
air, water, land, and wilderness areas-which has expressed itself
in the passage and implementation in recent years of a variety of
environmental laws and regulations. A second debate concerns the
adequacy of energy resources to meet the requirements of a growing
economy. The requirement that industries must abate environmental
pollution leads to increased costs of production and, in turn, to
higher prices, falling output in those industries, and reduced
employment and income in the region where such industries are
located. There may be, at the same time, growth in indus tries that
supply pollution abatement equipment and services in those or other
regions. Over time, the health and economic benefits of higher envi
ronmental quality express themselves in changing patterns of
consumption."
