Political Environmentalism - Going Behind the Green Curtain

Anderson and his contributors boldly confront specific environmental laws, asking whether they were motivated by environmental or strictly political concerns, whether they achieve their goals, whether they are cost-effective and whether they generate effective or perverse results.
