Pricing for Pollution Pricing for Pollution

Wilfred Beckerman

Издател: Institute of Economic Affairs

"Pricing for Pollution is fast approaching the status of a classic. When published in 1975 it set out in cogent and lucid terms the case for “charging” for pollution as a means of environmental regulation. Dr Beckerman had then argued the case as a member of the Royal Commission on Environmental Pollution. His approach to the control of the

Verdict on the Crash: Causes and Policy Implications Verdict on the Crash: Causes and Policy Implications

collective

Издател: IEA

This book challenges the myth that the recent banking crisis was caused by insufficient statutory regulation of financial markets. Though it finds that statutory regulation failed, and that market participants took more risks than they should have done, it appears that statutory regulation made matters worse rather than better. Furthermore the

Liberating the Land Liberating the Land

Mark Pennington

Издател: IEA

Despite the growing belief in the efficacy of market forces, the ownership and use of land in Britain are now '...subject to a greater array of statutory controls than at any time since the introduction of the 1947 Town and Country Planning Act'. 'Market failure' arguments are used in support of land use planning. However, in this radical

The Land Use Planning System The Land Use Planning System

John Corkindale

Издател: IEA

The existing system of land use planning in the UK dates back to the 1947 Town and Country Planning Act and is therefore now well over half a century old. For most of that time, the town and country planners have run the system and until recently there has been remarkably little serious economic evaluation of it. However, there have been

Misguided Virtue Misguided Virtue

David Henderson

Издател: The Institute of Economic Affairs

The doctrine of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) now enjoys widespread support. Companies are enjoined not simply to seek profit but to demonstrate their 'corporate citizenship' by working with a range of stakeholders to further environmental and social as well as economic goals. Pressures for such behaviour have come from NGOs but have been

Government Failure: A Primer in Public Choice Government Failure: A Primer in Public Choice

Gordon Tullock, Gordon L. Brady, Arthur Seldon

Издател: Cato Institute

When market forces fail us, what are we to do? Who will step in to protect the public interest? The government, right? Wrong. The romantic view of bureaucrats coming to the rescue confuses the true relationship between economics and politics. Politicians often cite “market failure” as justification for meddling with the economy, but a group

Crisis of Abundance Crisis of Abundance

Arnold Kling

Издател: Cato Institute

In Crisis of Abundance: Rethinking How We Pay for Health Care, economist Arnold Kling argues that the way we finance health care matches neither the needs of patients nor the way medicine is practiced. The availability of premium medicine, combined with patients who are insulated from costs, means Americans are not getting maximum value per dollar
