45 Examples of green growth Fewer children per group in daycare and school More and higher quality publically provided cultural supply Less chemicals in the food More staff at the living of the elderly More resources at dealing with psychological deseases

According to conventional economics, we cannot trust the market to obtain this We need powerful policy instruments to deal with market failures, e.g. in terms of environmental externalities National policy instruments not sufficient due to free-rider problems, we need international cooperation and possibly institutions
