I've discussed this with libertarians and the best argument I've heard is that the incentive to manage negative externalities comes from private ownership. If the factory down the road is polluting the river that runs by your house, you sue them.

It's one thing to believe capitalism is the way to go, it's another to go defend that we should always act in self interest and this will only lead to good things.
