Recenzje

As the United States is poised to reengage with the imperative of tackling climate change, Charles Halvorson brings forward a vital history of American efforts to curb air pollution since the 1960s. Halvorson brilliantly shows how an initial bipartisan coalition to improve air quality splintered amid the economic stagnation of the 1970s and waxing critiques of technocratic regulation from both the right and the left. The resulting experimentation with market-based regulatory approaches has continued to divide environmental activists and business interests alike, and Halvorson's analysis of those evolving conflicts is a must-read for historians, political scientists, legal scholars, and policy-makers.
