The conventional history of emissions trading underpinning debate about carbon emissions trading begins in the 1960s with American attacks on inflexible, ‘command and control’ regulations. This chapter challenges this reading of regulatory history, placing these developments in a longer history of pollution control whereby law and science interact to shift problems created by industry. A crucial change from the nineteenth-century to twentieth-century regimes of acid regulation was the shift in prominence from civil society and associated experts using moral language, on the one hand, to economic expertise claiming to operate on the basis of efficiency, on the other. This was not a shift from ‘command and control’ to markets, but rather one form of governmentality to another in the sense that cost began to figure increasingly in rationales for government action.
