Market Dynamics and Technical Change
Market failure occurs when the allocation of goods and services by a free market is not efficient, often leading to negative outcomes for society. This situation arises when the market does not reflect the true cost or benefit of goods, resulting in overproduction or underproduction. Market failures can be particularly pronounced in the context of environmental issues, where technological progress may lead to externalities that harm the environment and public health.
