The greatest market failure the world has seen

The science tells us that GHG

emissions are an externality; in

other words, our emissions

affect the lives of others. When

people do not pay for the

consequences of their actions

we have market failure. This is

the greatest market failure the

world has seen. It is an

externality that goes beyond

those of ordinary congestion or

pollution, although many of the

same economic principles

apply for its analysis.

(Stern Review, LSE, 2006)

The greatest market failure the world has seen

Sorry, I got it wrong

Can we know?

Can we know better?

What can we know?

Should we make an economic or a moral case?

Should these findings stop us to act?

How should we act?

Where to start ?

The inescapable conclusion is that

in order to face the twin challenges

of the 21st century, climate change

and financial crisis, we need to

rethink and overhaul our entire

monetary system.
