- catalog abstract ""Many Americans believe three things about jobs and the environment: environmental protection measures have created ongoing, widespread unemployment; have caused large numbers of plant shutdowns and layoffs in manufacturing; and have led many U.S. firms to flee to developing countries with lax environmental regulations. Virtually all economists who have studied the issue agree that each of these propositions is false."--BOOK JACKET. "The Trade-Off Myth is the first book to clearly state the truth about jobs and the environment. In it, economist Eban Goodstein provides an in-depth examination of the deep-seated, but ultimately mistaken, American belief in a widespread jobs-environment trade-off."--Jacket. "The Trade-Off Myth will be essential reading for environmentalists, concerned citizens, policymakers, public officials, and anyone involved in debates over strengthening environmental regulations."--Jacket.".
