From the publisher

Mark Sagoff draws on the last twenty years of debate over the foundations of environmentalism in this comprehensive revision of The Economy of the Earth. Posing questions pertinent to consumption, cost-benefit analysis, the normative implications of neo-Darwinism, the role of the natural in national history, and the centrality of the concept of place in environmental ethics, he analyzes social policy in relation to the environment, pollution, the workplace, and public safely and health. Sagoff distinguishes ethical from economic questions and explains which kinds of concepts, arguments, and processes are appropriate to each.

First line

This is a book about social regulation.

From the rear cover

This is a book about government social policy in relation to the environment, pollution, the workplace, and public safety and health. The question it poses are: How justified is government in interfering with the wishes of individuals?
