"...Hsu's case is thoroughly documented and eloquently made."
-- "TreeHugger"
"A must-read for anyone concerned about the wellbeing of their
children and grandchildren. An objective, clear-sighted revelation
of the sine qua non for stabilizing climate and preserving a
livable planet."
--James E. Hansen, Director, NASA Goddard Institute for Space
Studies
"Shi-Ling Hsu has written a thought-provoking defense of carbon
taxes. His discussion of the policies, politics, and psychology of
carbon taxes is highly readable and an extremely useful resource.
Although the political winds in North America change from year to
year, the challenge of pricing carbon is unavoidable in the long
term. This book has staying power."
--Janet E. Milne, Director, Environmental Tax Policy Institute,
Vermont Law School
"Shi-Ling Hsu's book is the most thoughtful and sweeping book on
carbon taxation in existence. It is must reading for anyone
interested in climate change policy. The book covers every angle,
and does so with moderation and wit."
--Kevin Hassett, Director of Economic Policy Studies, American
Enterprise Institute
"Who's afraid of a carbon tax? Not Shi-Ling Hsu, who builds an
accessible, well-informed, and undeniably persuasive case for the
superiority of carbon taxes over alternative climate change policy
instruments. He also delves into individual and group psychology
literatures to explain why the superiority of carbon taxes seems
not to be grasped by the public and its representatives. Altogether
a vital contribution to this, our most important debate."
--Douglas A. Kysar, Professor of Law, Yale University
