Priceless: On Knowing the Price of Everything and the Value of Nothing
by noteworthy at 12:41 pm EDT, Jun 11, 2004

Is the price of human life going down? Does it cost any less to protect the natural world?

Decisions such as removing arsenic from drinking water or weighing the risks of cell phone use while driving should not be left to back-room bean counters. Such issues call for informed public debate drawing on moral, philosophical, and societal considerations beyond market-based assessments.

Debunking the overall concept of cost-benefit analysis and the fuzzy math behind it, Priceless is the first comprehensive rebuttal of a strategy at the heart of the current administration's anti-regulatory binge.
