The Value We Place on Life

Omschrijving

"A timely and valuable study of how society values individual lives. Friedman gets to the heart of society priorities. Indispensable reading."--Kenneth R. Feinberg, Former Administrator of the September 11 Victim Compensation Fund "What is a human life worth? That question seems repugnant. The answers that society gives are often unfair and irrational. But our justice system, environmental regulations, product safety, life insurance, health care, and abortion decisions demand answers. This gripping book is essential reading on a topic that you'd like to avoid but can't."--Jared Diamond, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Guns, Germs, and Steel and other best-selling books. "This well-written book does an exemplary job of explaining the thorny issues of how life is valued."--Paul W. Thurman, DBA, Professor of Management and Analytics "This book will find a ready audience among educated lay persons interested in how to put an economic value on life."--Kim Sweeny, Victoria University
