Until Kapp’s book, however, these negative externalities had been considered as a peripheral problem, a minor aberration in economic theory. He showed on the contrary that the discharge of social costs was a general phenomenon, consubstantial with a mode of decision with ‘a built-in tendency to disregard those negative effects (e.g., air and water pollution) which are “external” to the decision-making unit’. This had radical theoretical implications, because __as neither company accounting nor prices in general are really able to record the ‘destructive off-market effects’ shifted onto the social and natural environment, ‘the price indicators are not only imperfect and incomplete; they are misleading’.__
