Externalities must become a part of the cost of materials and services. Replacement costs of nonrenewable resources need to be recovered to pay for the replacements. Polution and other sink costs must be added to place a real value in the market. Every person must get an equal share of the value of all means of production and resource extraction as a basic income. Higher education and standard of living with assured care for the elderly and availablity of contrception will bring the birth rate into line with the death rate so we can begin to taper back down.
