| Societies should use private property rights to control pollution
| |
Supporting arguments
Private civil action was used earlier in United States history, and it was considered economically ineffecient. That was why it was supplanted by the creation of regulatory agencies, which have lower overall costs. [1]
|
Opposing arguments
Private property right enforcement would be more effective than than the use of regulatory agencies, thereby lowering other costs, such as pollution-related health care. [2]
