The reality is gas prices should be much more expensive then they are because we're not incorporating the true damage to the environment and the hidden costs of mining oil and transporting it to the U.S. Whenever you have an unpriced externality, you have a bit of a market failure, to the degree that eternality remains unpriced.

South African Businessman

Barry Gardiner

GDP has been a con perpetrated upon the poor of the world: a measure of economic activity and not of actual wealth. What it masks is the way in which we transform their natural capital into our consumption through international rules that regard the ecosystem services upon which they rely as mere externalities.

British Politician

Sri Aurobindo

India saw from the beginning, and, even in her ages of reason and her age of increasing ignorance, she never lost hold of the insight, that life cannot be rightly seen in the sole light, cannot be perfectly lived in the sole power of its externalities.

Indian Philosopher

Paul Polman

Why would you invest in a company which is out of synch with the needs of society, that does not take its social compliance in its supply chain seriously, that does not think about the costs of externalities or of its negative impacts on society?

Dutch Businessman

Hamza Yusuf

ISIS is very similar to the Kharijites, who were a toxic off-shoot of Islam. It's not Islam; it's a perversion of Islam, and to label these militant externalities as Islam is to legitimize their actions.

American Clergyman

Winnie Byanyima

We treat a planet at crisis point as an externality that can be shunted into a future generation. We continue to act as if we had the natural resources of several planets, not one.

Ugandan Politician

Matthew Yglesias

I'm a liberal - I believe in subsidies for public goods and in regulations to curb harmful externalities, but neither of those things exist when it comes to parking.

American Economist

Isabella Bird

It is extremely interesting to live in a private house and to see the externalities, at least, of domestic life in a Japanese middle-class home.

English Explorer

Noam Chomsky

Markets are lethal, if only because of ignoring externalities, the impacts of their transactions on the environment.

American Activist

Anthony Scaramucci

Good debt accrues assets that generate positive returns and externalities.

American Businessman

An externality involves outcomes affecting those who didn't choose to be involved.

Impact Beyond Choice

Externalities can be positive, like a park that beautifies the area for all.

Not Always Bad

Governments often step in to correct negative externalities through regulations.

Public Policy Relevance

In computing, an externality operates independently from the main system.

Beyond System Limits

Externalities in computing often refer to additional peripherals.

Peripheral Addition

Externalities aren’t central but can enhance or support the main system.

Not Integral

 negative externalities like petrochemicals and like fertilizer runoff into the price of a bag of chips well if that bag of chips then becomes sort of inherently more expensive than an apple then maybe it's time for a different sense of personal responsibility and food choice because the choices are actually choices instead of three-quarters of the products being

 Likewise, as we're developing policies to try to encourage exports, if we know there's this externality -- this extra thing that's going to happen as we increase exports -- we can think about what the right kinds of policies are. But it also tells us something about one of these things that we think that we know.

 They burn the electronic waste in open spaces. These are communities, and this is happening all over the world. And because we don't see the ramifications of the choices that we make as designers, as businesspeople, as consumers, then these kinds of externalities happen, and these are people's lives.

 And by the way, these are my favorites -- externalities calculation and green carbon markets. TEEB has more than a dozen separate groups of solutions including protected area evaluation and payments for ecosystem services and eco-certification and you name it, but these are the favorites.

 That's why we need a price on carbon and a price on plastic pollution. It also leaves out positive externalities. So we’re chronically underinvesting in education and health care and environmental protection, pandemic preparedness. We're ignoring the depletion of resources like topsoil

 and then you look at what the farmer was paid. If you divide the amount of water into what the farmer was paid, the farmer didn't receive enough money to pay a decent price for water in any of those commodities. That is an externality by definition.
