Environmental policy is viewed, by some, as an oasis of democracy, unspoiled by crass capitalism and indominated by corporate interest. This book counters that view. The focus of the book is on how US economic elites - corporate decision makers and other individuals of substantial wealth - shape the content and implementation of US environmental policy to their economic and political benefit. The author utilizes the cases of the management of the national forest and national parks, was well as preservation policies and federal claen air policies, to show corporate power in action in even the purest of policy areas.
