The Free Market and The Environment with Doug Bandow
Environmental quality has been a major public concern since the first Earth Day in 1970, yet the maze of environmental laws and regulations enacted since them has fostered huge government bureaucracies better known for waste and failure than innovation and success.
Can the free market do better than this failed environmental bureaucracy? Doug Bandow thinks so.
