But while legislation such as the Wilderness Act, the Clean Water Act, the Clean Air Act, and Superfund has been put on a pedestal above public interest, the fact remains that environmentalists are simply one more special-interest group, lobbying for laws that suit their needs regardless of the net effect on society -- and driving legislation that costs the American economy billions of dollars a year

520 1 |a "In Political Environmentalism, Terry Anderson and his contributors show how environmental special interests have indeed provided the high moral ground for economic special interests who stand to gain from legislation that hampers competition. The book documents a range of examples of how politics and environmentalism mix to produce strange bedfellows and perverse results. It shows, for instance, how clean air and water legislation based on technology standards actually results in dirtier air and higher costs to consumers. It tells how wilderness designations and Superfund sites are usually determined more by economic interests than by any other factor. And it reveals how the Endangered Species Act puts property rights up for grabs in the political arena - doing little to save species but consuming considerable resources in the process." "Throughout the book, Political Environmentalism boldly confronts specific environmental laws, asking whether they were motivated by environmental concerns. whether they achieve their goals, whether they are cost-effective - and, most important whether they in fact generate perverse results."--BOOK JACKET
