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 analyses 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. He offers a critique 'preference' and 'willingness to pay' as measures of value in environmental economics and defends political, cultural, aesthetic, and ethical reasons to protect the natural environment.Cambridge studies in philosophy and public policy.Environmental policyUnited StatesEnvironmental lawUnited StatesSocial legislationUnited StatesUnited StatesEconomic policyUnited StatesSocial policyEnvironmental policyEnvironmental lawSocial legislation363.7/0560973Sagoff Mark88822MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910819088103321The economy of the earth4108398UNINA
