Are We Scaring Ourselves to Death?, Part 3: Environmental and Other Risks*
- 1999 ----- color ----- 15 min ----- vhs
- (Stossel in the Classroom series, Part 6) Applying the economic theory of risk and political behavior, John Stossel illustrates how government regulatory agencies designed to reduce risks actually increase risks to society. The unintended consequences of public policy programs targeted to eliminate risk to zero include the FDA, OSHA, CPSC and the EPA. This ties directly to the case of Superfund and the Smuggler Silver Mine and the risks of poverty created by regulation.
