	Origin of the Idea
		Pigou, a British welfare economist (meaning that his economic theories focuses on maximizing the well-being of society), studied at King's College in Cambridge and later served as the chair of political economy at Cambridge from 1908 to 1943.
		Pigou is also known for his contributions to the aggregate demand-aggregate supply model (the "real balances effect"), and to theories of price discrimination.
		Pigou's reasoning was that the marginal utility of a dollar for a poor man was greater than for a rich man, and so by transferring dollars from the rich to the poor, the net gain in social welfare would be positive.

		Pigou was responsible for disseminating many of Marshall's ideas and thereby provided the leading theoretical basis for what came to be known as the Cambridge school of economics.

		Pigou's analysis was widely accepted until the early 1960s, when Ronald Coase showed that taxes and subsidies are not necessary if the partners in the transaction—that is, the people affected by the externality and the people who cause it—can bargain over the transaction.
