From preface; To work out an ecological view of the economy of man and nature, is a task that perhaps will occupy economic thought for decades. This will involve coming to think of changes in economic systems as an aspect of the continuing process of interaction od systems of living things with one another and with inanimate elements of the earth.

Attempts to achieve a pragmatic understanding of what the statutes, regulations, and cases say about the law. The questions and materials following the excerpts not only challenge the student to understand how the current legal regime is applied but also invite students to think about how differently the law is constructed. Emphasizes the distinction between the technology-based approach and the media quality-based approach to improving and maintaining environmental quality. Chapters are arranged largely by statute.

This book is designed primarily to teach models for analyzing administrative law problems. The modeling approach helps students understand the big picture of administrative government. At the same time, it sensitizes them to the need for a flexible, context-specific analysis of agency powers and duties. The book is based on validated adult learning theory. As such, it emphasizes development of professional skills and perspectives. It encourages this development by, among other means, using multiple methods of presenting the material; relating the material to students’ prior experience, and explaining the relevance of the material to future legal practice. The book uses federal administrative law as the organizing principle, but it also includes compilations of citations for the corresponding administrative law of selected states.

My work has been directed towards the development of a realist or causal economics, in contrast to a priori, ‘theoretical’ economics. This kind of work in economics was well received in the 1950s but with the rise of formalistic economics in the 1960s it became unfashionable and difficult to publish.
My doctoral dissertation developed a causal interpretation of the term structure of interest rates and criticised what now can be seen as a pioneer work in modern formalistic economics, the interpretation of the structure of interest rates on the basis of a simple pattern of hypothetical ‘expectations’. The methodological points made in that work were generalised in my 1968 book.
They were developed to incorporate new ideas and tools of current science and were applied to other topics of economics in later work, much of which was not published.
The recent fragmentation of formalistic economics, the rising criticism of its unrealism, the successes of the empirical, evolutionary sciences, and the challenge to logical positivism by the new realist philosophy of science now seems to be creating an intellectual climate in which realist or causal economics can receive a hearing, and perhaps will become the dominant approach in the years ahead. I plan in the next few years to publish in a series of
books a coherent version of a modern realist (or causal, or institutionalist, empirical, social, historical) economics. In this work, I emphasise that the recently dominant ‘theoretical economics’ gains its appeal to economists from its formal rituals and its substance from eighteenth-century natural-harmony ideology.
The needs of economic policy urgently call for its replacement with an economics that provides realistic causal explanations of the workings of actual economies, and that belongs to the intellectual world of modern scientific thought.
