Examines current U.S. policy concerning various natural resources with particular emphasis on whether or not control measures inhibit or facilitate economic efficiency. Covering policies pertaining to public lands, nonfuel minerals, climate, water, agricultural land, marine fisheries, endangered species and private forests, the authors describe what is actually happening to each resource and why, especially when political considerations play a more significant role than economic ones.
