31. Economists do not "hate even considering externalized costs".

Externalized costs is a concept that was clarified BY economists.

Over-generalizing is a nasty habit that is a commonly associated with limited education. The work of economists is a vital part of understanding the problems that confront us. The field deals with all aspects of providing goods and services to an individual, group or society *including* the environmental costs.
