The Case for a Carbon Tax
Getting Past Our Hang-Ups to Effective Climate Policy
By Shi-Ling Hsu
Island Press
In The Case for a Carbon Tax, Hsu examines the policy
instruments available to control carbon emissions. He argues that while
carbon taxes have often been shunned as politically unfeasible, they
actually represent the most straightforward step toward curbing climate
change, and can be paired effectively with other approaches.
