Author: Nordhaus, Ted & Shellenberger, Michael

Shellenberger and Nordhaus triggered a fiery controversy with their essay "The Death of Environmentalism." Global warming is far more complex than past pollution problems, they argued, and American values have changed dramatically since the environmental victories of the 1960s - but environmentalists keep fighting the same old battles. Connecting the failures of environmentalism with those of the entire left-leaning political agenda, this eagerly awaited follow-up points the way toward a new vision that resonates with 21st-century American values and faces our current challenges head-on.
