โœฆ Synopsis


Citizens become consumers when working with products as well as when buying them. Many products to which worker-consumers are exposed are dangerous. Our analysis of the American asbestos experience demonstrates that the process thought to balance workplace risks and benefits, the market, fails to deter tatent injurers in the way neo-classical economics predicts. Tort signals to the market are weak, late, and frequently distorted or ignored.
