GOVT 86.34 Ethics, Economics, and the Environment
This course examines the ethics and economics of our environmental choices and public policies. Throughout, we will examine important and difficult questions of practical relevance, including: Should you be an ethical consumer? What is the value of nature, and can we put a price on it? What’s a fair distribution of environmental goods? Who should bear the costs of climate change? Is economic growth the problem or the solution? How should we measure social progress?
