Poverty and Pollution Discussion

  • Read Case 7.2: Poverty and Pollution, located here or on page 267
    in your textbook. Next, predict the effects of pollution permits on poor,
    less-developed areas like Brazil’s “valley of death.” Assess the effectiveness
    of incentive programs on manufacturers in less-developed areas. Based on your
    assessment, provide an argument in support of either pollution permits or
    incentive programs.
