How would business work? Currently a business's purpose by law is to make money. How would you enforce a different goal without going full centralized economy?

And how is trying to add less value more effective than internalizing externalized costs? For example, co2 is an externalized cost, one companies don't need to pay for right now, it's external to them.

You could do something similar for other ecological issues as well. What's the benefit of degroth over internalizing costs?
