9780844739632: Using Federalism to Improve Environmental Policy (Aei Studies in Regulation and Federalism)

Synopsis

This provocative read tackles the gridlock of federal environmental regulation head-on, as legal scholars Henry N. Butler and Jonathan R. Macey make the case for decentralizing environmental policy through federalism, exposing how command-and-control regulations stifle innovation, investment, and effective enforcement, offering a bold blueprint for reforming environmental law, air pollution standards, and regulatory authority for a more responsive and adaptive system. 


This book explores the effects of current regulatory policies and proposes a radical restructuring of the environmental regulatory authority.
