by David Shreve In cap-and-trade systems, the government places a “cap,” or limit, typically on pollution or resource extraction. The amount of pollution or extraction is then divided into “allowances,” which are allocated to the polluting or extracting corporations.

But does experience with cap-and-trade systems vindicate this promise...| Center for the Advancement of the Steady State Economy
