Description
"Retaking Rationality argues that environmentalists and other progressive groups, by rejecting the economic analysis of regulation, have allowed industry groups and conservative intellectuals to convince the public that strong environmental, public health, and safety regulation is bad economic policy. The truth is that economic analysis - conducted in an unbiased manner - will often support strong regulation. That truth is hidden because, as currently conducted, economic analysis is strongly biased against regulation." "Written in a clear and non-technical manner, Retaking Rationality gives progressive groups and the public the tools they need both to understand and to engage in the debate over the economic analysis of environmental, public health, and safety regulation."--Jacket.
