Reviews

"Cafaro's work is highly original, focusing on a question that most liberals, as well as libertarians, studiously avoid, and showing that it is the key question that they must be pushed to consider. At the same time it is balanced, drawing on the work of both supporters and detractors. Indeed, Cafaro's treatment of this controversial subject is calm and eventempered, deploying his few barbs only where they are truly justified." (Herman E. Daly, author of Steady-State Economics)"
