Doug, in looking at your U.S. poverty rate time series, it looks
more like the poverty rate peaked in 1993 and then began to
decline, albeit in a somewhat "sticky" fashion. It doesn't look
like poverty has increased with the growth we've been seeing.
This seems on its face rather consistent
You might check Samuel Hays' book, Beauty, Health and Permanence
for some history of EPA, particularly on a broad range of topics.
Another thought on this: Jim O'Connor and Daniel Faber
co-authored a piece on the political economy of environmentalism
in Capitalism Nature Socialism in 1988 or 1989. The footnotes
there may have some useful historical material for you.

Louis,
Have you seen Worster's early book, DUST BOWL (I think it's about
1979)? It's quite good, providing an insightful analysis of the
un-ecological biases of the agronomy used by USDA to help address
the conditions of agriculture at the time.

As a planner for the City of Berkeley I can attest to the
