Any red-blooded American capitalist should begin preparing to understand the economic significance of the carbon trading market being developed in the European Union today. As more and more state governments advance laws to reduce Co2 emissions, the more likely that the federal government will adopt large-scale Kyoto-like regime in the post-2010 period. This book gives the reader some significant background through a series of well written essays by various economic experts in regions around the globe. In my building of a small library on climate change politics and the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS), this book provided a foundation of understanding the economics of pollution and how it may well drive industrial innovation to curb energy pollution in the 21st Century. The nearly 400-page book is an esay read for those interested in the topic of carbon trade. There will be billions of dollars of trade in carbon coming to America soon. Now is the time to try to understand the market dynamic.

Addresses various important aspects of carbon trade, the topics addressed are neatly segregated into chapters and can be read independently from other chapters.
I find it very informative, but requires good patience to read.
