Breaking the Vicious Circle: Toward Effective Risk Regulation (The Oliver Wendell Holmes Lectures, 1992)

By Stephen G. Breyer

Book Overview

Breaking the Vicious Circle is a tour de force that should be read by everyone who is interested in improving our regulatory processes. Written by a highly respected federal judge, who obviously recognizes the necessity of regulation but perceives its failures and weaknesses as well, it pinpoints the most serious problems and offers a creative solution that would for the first time bring rationality to bear on the vital issue of priorities in our era of limited resources.
