Who decides when "dealing with externalities" has been done in a proper way?
The very word "externalities" and the state of the global environment don't inspire much trust in the efficient management of "externalities" through capitalism.
Pointing this out doesn't mean that I am a socialist ot communist, I don't like this this kind of black and white thinking.
Wouldn't "efficiency" mean that we use natural resources sustainably?
That's not happening as far as I see.
