Markets and Mortality: Economics, Dangerous Work, and the Value of Human Life
Dorman, Peter (James Madison College, Michigan State University)
This book provides a critical survey of conventional economic approaches to occupational safety and the analysis of environmental risk in general. The author concludes that unsafe work is not voluntary, that markets do not compensate workers for risk, and that attempts to put a monetary value on life and health are futile.
