Environmental regulation: a value-theoretic and class-based analysis
从价值理论和阶级视角出发，论证生态问题与资本主义剩余价值提取过程密不可分，并分析环境规制如何受阶级和社会斗争影响。
Following a value-theoretic and class-based approach, it is argued in this paper that ecological problems are inseparably linked to the process of extracting surplus value in capitalism and, owing to their adverse impacts, instigate struggles over the appropriation of nature. These struggles fought within and outside the state by competing agents shape environmental regulation. In particular, taxes, permits, command-and-control measures, and subsidies affect prices, profits and rents and have class and other social implications. Evidence of current environmental regulation shows that it takes places under the great influence of capitalist concerns. Copyright 2005, Oxford University Press.
