In a few short years, the environmental movement pushed Republican and Democratic elected officials to articulate a right to clean air as part of a bevy of new federal guarantees. Charged with delivering on those promises, the EPA represented a bold assertion that the federal government had a responsibility to protect the environment, the authority to command private business to reduce their pollution, and the capacity to dictate how they did so. But revolutions are always contested and the starburst of environmental concern that propelled the Clean Air Act and the EPA coincided with economic convulsions that shook the liberal state to its core. As powerful businesses pressed to roll back regulations, elected officials from both parties questioned whether the nation could keep its environmental promises. Pushing on, the EPA adopted a monetized approach to environmental value that sat at odds with environmentalist notions of natural rights but provided a critical shied for the agency's rulemaking, as environmental protection came to serve as a key battleground in larger debates over markets, government, and public welfare. The EPA's success and the potential limits of its monetary approach are evident in the very air we breathe today - far cleaner and healthier as a result of the EPA's actions, but holding new threats in a rapidly changing climate"-- $c Provided by publisher. 610 10 $a United States. $b Environmental Protection Agency $x History. 650 0 $a Environmental policy $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Environmental protection $x History. $z United States $x History. 610 17 $a United States. $b Environmental Protection Agency $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00534882 650 7 $a Environmental policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00913250 650 7 $a Environmental protection $x Economic aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00913351 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Halvorson, Charles. $t Valuing clean air $d New York, NY, United States of America : Oxford University Press, [2021] $z 9780197538869 $w (DLC) 2020049831 941 $a 1 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214024200.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=72EDE83072D911EDA0B05B7C49ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b IOWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
