  1. Woody, your remark has a good point - that markets can help to close externalities - but of course that doesn't really make them go completely away, because much of the land and most of the wildlife are "public" and thus ineffectively owned.

    Reminds me of something I've seen recently about the bushtailed possums that are wreaking havok in NZ (which has no native mammalian predators other than a few bats): http://www.perc.org/articles/article1066.php
