Externalities



There are no end of examples of externalities.  For example when one builds a home, there are costs incurred on society such as schools, police, roads, etc. that are not completely (actually only minimally) by the developers.  But on the flip side having a snow blower in the winter has positive externalities (assuming the owner loans it to the neighbors).  Above is the best video I can find find explaining externalities.
