Nota di contenuto |
|
Thermodynamics: the language chosen defines the debate -- The tragedy of the commons: a class of problems that has no technical solution -- The willful ignorance of realpolitik: market failure or cost-shifting success? -- The general theory of second best: a rigorous justification for an intuitively just proposal -- Through the bottleneck of a cowboy economy: financing shovel-ready projects -- Conclusions: reason for hope and despair. |

|
