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. 410 0$aCambridge studies in philosophy and public policy. 606 $aEnvironmental policy$zUnited States 606 $aEnvironmental law$zUnited States 606 $aSocial legislation$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xEconomic policy 607 $aUnited States$xSocial policy 615 0$aEnvironmental policy 615 0$aEnvironmental law 615 0$aSocial legislation 676 $a363.7/0560973 700 $aSagoff$b Mark$088822 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784815403321 996 $aThe economy of the earth$93775474 997 $aUNINA
