Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"As Frank Ackerman and Lisa Heinzerling point out . . . it is hardly clear why the same logic [of short term investments] should apply to the value of our great-grandchildren." —Jim Holt, The New York Times Magazine

"Ackerman and Heinzerling combine sophisticated criticism and a provocative policy perspective with an accessible style and an eye for contemporary political issues." —Harvard Law Review

"If you've ever wondered where some really bad ideas--more arsenic in your water, say--could have come from, this book will provide the answers." —Bill McKibben, author of The End of Nature

Reseña del editor:

Challenging current beliefs about the virtues of cost-benefit analysis, a cautionary analysis cites its growing use among politicians and conservatives as a means of making policy decisions regarding public health and the environment, arguing that decisions about health and safety would be better made on democratic and moral grounds.
