Quote:So far a market based economy has 1000 times better air quality than the central government ran economy.


Market forces are driven by return investment as much as anything when you use central planning to drive behavior you only have selected enforcement which leads to worse results.

 

How was the air quality before the government regulated air pollution? How was air quality at the height of the industrial age? Our air quality is generally pretty good now because of regulations, but at the height of the industrial age and even still into the early 20th century our country faced many of the same air quality issues that China does now.
