Mostly summarized from Gregory Mankiw’s Principles of Economics, 5th Ed. PART 4 The Economics of the Public Sector Chapter 10 of 36 Externalities Section 9 of 18 … Many economists believe government should encourage industries that create large positive technological externalities spillovers.

“The world we see that seems so insane is the result of a belief system that is not working. To perceive the world differently, we must be willing to change our belief system, let the past slip away, expand our sense of now, and dissolve the fear in our minds.” - William James “All experience has shown mankind are more disposed to suffer,while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.” - Thomas Jefferson “Wherever good fortune enters, envy lays siege and attacks it.
