The idea that we must choose between a healthy environment and a healthy economy is a myth. Well-conceived environmental regulations create jobs, promote efficiency and reduce costs - and 30 years of U.S. regulatory experience proves it.

Drawing on his experience as a research scientist, Goldstein shows how the nation (and the world) can preserve its resources and promote prosperity at the same time. 336 pp.
