Mr. Haefele is a thoroughly modern eighteenth-century man in that he brings to bear new techniques of political analysis with an undisguised preference for making the government of the American Republic as contemplated by the founding fathers really work for the benefit of the people.

Focusing on the question of environmental management, Haefele carefully examines how we make social choices today and how the Constitution says we should and presents compelling arguments for bringing the two processes back into congruence.

The papers in this volume have been brought together from several earlier ones published in professional journals, and some rewritten.
