Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
That America's natural environment has been degraded and despoiled over the past 25 years is beyond dispute. Nor has there been any shortage of reasons whyshortsighted politicians, a society built on overconsumption, and the dramatic weakening of environmental regulations.In Retaking Rationality, Richard L. Revesz and Michael A. Livermore argue convincingly that one of the least understoodand most importantcauses of our failure to protect the environment has been a misguided rejection of reason. The authors show that environmentalists, labor unions, and other progressive groups have declined to participate in the key governmental proceedings concerning the costbenefit analysis of federal regulations. As a result of this vacuum, industry groups have captured costbenefit analysis and used it to further their antiregulatory ends. Beginning in 1981, the federal Office of Management and Budget and the federal courts have used costbenefit analysis extensively to determine which environmental, health, and safety regulations are approved and which are sent back to the drawing board. The resulting imbalance in political participation has profoundly affected the nation's regulatory and legal landscape. But Revesz and Livermore contend that economic analysis of regulations is necessary and that it needn't conflict withand can in fact supporta more compassionate approach to environmental policy. Indeed, they show that we cannot give up on rationality if we truly want to protect our natural environment.Retaking Rationality makes clear that by embracing and reforming costbenefit analysis, and by joining reason and compassion, progressive groups can help enact strong environmental and public health regulation.
