00-05 "Getting the Prices Wrong: The Limits of Market-Based Environmental Policy."
No full textMarket based policies are fast becoming the recommended policy panacea for all the world's environmental problems. Implicit in such recommendations is the theory that free markets, adjusted for externalities, can always create an "efficient" allocation of society's resources. As a result, many contemporary policymakers advocate rolling back regulations in order to let the market protect the environment. There is a fundamental distinction between the use of the market as a tool to help achieve society's goals, and as a blueprint for society's goals; the market is a reasonable policy tool but not a reasonable blueprint. The market as blueprint fails because there are significant public purposes that cannot be achieved by prices and markets alone. Five major arguments show that getting the prices right is often a narrow or meaningless objective; society may intentionally and appropriately choose to "get the prices wrong" in order to pursue more important goals.

No full textFew poets possess the verve and brilliance of Diane Ackerman. Her first poetry collection, The Planets: A Cosmic Pastoral, combined scientific fact with imaginative fancy so gracefully that Carl Sagan called her work stunning...spectacularly good poetry, clear, lyrical and soaring and later enlisted her as a researcher in his Cosmos series.

Her poems reveal a woman of sensitivity, restraint, ingenuity, and passionate daring. Her third book of poems, Lady Faustus, released last month by Morrow, extends the range of her interests to learning how to fly, to dreaming and knowing how to dream, and to probing the worlds of possibility and curiosity. Strong, exuberant, and honest, Ackerman has been called by Review, arguably, the best lyrical poet now writing in the United States. Ackerman has also published a prose memoir, Twilight of the Tenderfoot. She will read her poetry on Wednesday afternoon
