Lawrence summers served as secretary of the treasury in the clinton administration and as director of national economic council in the obama administration. he has been quoted as giving the following moral defense of the economic approach."there is nothing morally unattractive about saying: we need to analyze which way of spending money onhealth care will produce more benefit and which less, and using our money as efficiently as we can. i don't think there is anything immoral about seeking to achieve environmental benefits at the lowestpossible costs."source: david wessel, "precepts from professor summers," wall street journal, october 17, 2002.it would be more moral to reduce pollution, a.taking the cost into account because money spent on pollution reduction is not available for other worthy activities. b.not taking the cost into account because pollution reduction is typically associated with large benefits.

A) taking the cost into account because money spent on pollution reduction is not available for other worthy activities.

Explanation:

The economic approach tries to find solutions for problems optimizing the use of economic resources, therefore reducing costs and increasing benefits for every dollar spent.

Resources are scarce and that includes everyone, from a normal individual, to the richest person in the world, or the richest country in the world. The economic approach states that we should all try to maximize the benefits we obtain while exchanging resources. For example, if we need to study for a text and we know that solving problems helps us to learn more than just reading, then we should spend more time solving problems than reading because that way we can increase our benefits.

The US government and every other government in the world works on a budget and the money it spends doing A, will not be spent doing B. So the government must decide which actions to take in order for maximizing the benefits of the population (i.e. choose between A or B depending on which causes the greatest common good).
