One of my favourite authors writes about the failings of the invisible hand and the case for a pollution tax
“When market prices convey accurate signals of cost and value, the invisible hand promotes the common good. But prices often diverge from cost and value and, in those cases, taxes can actually help steer resources toward more highly valued uses.”
