Description

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.
