but the truth was just the opposite: advances in economics over the past seventy years had identified the limits of free markets. Of course, anyone with open eyes could have seen this for themselves: episodic unemployment, sometimes massive, as in the Great Depression and pollution so bad in some places that air was unbreathable were just the two most obvious "proofs" that markets on their own don't necessarily work well.
~ Joseph E. Stiglitz

Americans consequently emit more carbon pollution than do people in more energy-efficient countries.
~ Joshua S. Goldstein
