Poverty and Pollution

1) What attitudes and values on the part of business and others lead to the creation of areas like the “”Valley of Death?””
2) Should the third world have more pollution, as Lawrence Summers argues?  Assess his argument that dirty industries should move to poorer and less-polluted areas
3) Some say “”Pollution is the price of progress.””  Is this assertion correct?  What is meant by “”progress””?  Who in fact pays the price?  Explain the moral and the economic issues raised by the assertion.  What are the connections between economic progress and development, on the one hand, and pollution controls and environmental protection, on the other?
