Many Economists, Both Liberal and Conservative, Were Critical of Much

Many economists, both liberal and conservative, were critical of much of the early environmental legislation. An important reason for the economists' critique was that economists:

A) thought the goals of the legislation were wrong.
B) worried that the costs sometimes were greater than the benefits.
C) trusted the market to solve all problems of resource use.
D) worried about fairness of regulations more than noneconomists did.
