Most current governmental structures are innately intwined with the economic system.
- tom_mellior 7y agoYes, which is why the government can fix what the market messed up, because market participants weren't charged for the costs of the externalities they are responsible for. Carbon taxes can change that.
- fao_ 7y agoAt this point, carbon taxes are really pretty much ephemeral, something that is basically too little, too late. You're adding more tax to a pile that the company already doesn't pay.
