Wanted: A Pollution Damage Revealing Mechanism

Review of Radical Political Economics

Published online on

Abstract

This article proposes a theoretical, incentive compatible, pollution damage revealing mechanism to induce people to reveal how much they are damaged by environmental degradation so polluters can be charged for the amount of damage caused. The mechanism is embedded in the participatory planning procedure that is part of a theoretical alternative to capitalism known as a "participatory economy."
