Cutting Green Tape: Toxin Pollutants, Environmental Regulation and the Law

These 11 essays, primarily by academics in law and economics, promote the saving of money over the saving of nature. Contributors argue that money spent on Superfund sites is wasteful, that protection of property rights will guarantee the best ground water (for the lowest cost), that there are too many "toxic tort" cases, and that the Federal government (no mention of local governments) has covered up numerous acts of environmental toxification. Many of the contributors' arguments promote common law and market-based alternatives to government "interference." Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
