I'm curious what positive externalities you're thinking about? Being able to make plans for the future?

A male in a country that is about to enter a war could decide to leave to avoid conscription, depending on the odds

Again, as I said, "aggregating public and private information through market mechanisms".

  • That's vague enough to be more or less meaningless, where specifically do you see positive externalities outweighing the numerous negative ones?

    • If that strikes you as vague, I strongly recommend you to read at least an LLM summary of "The Use of Knowledge in Society".
