Passage Summary: An economist argues that because we wouldn't give up every penny in existence to save the ozone layer, we can put a specific price tag on it.

Conclusion: The ozone layer has a specific, calculable monetary value.

Reasoning: Because humanity would not be willing to spend the entirety of the world's economic resources to protect the ozone layer, its value must be less than that total amount.

Analysis: The economist is making a massive logical leap here. Just because we can establish an upper limit—meaning we won't pay 'everything'—doesn't mean we can calculate a precise, finite value. It's like saying that because I wouldn't pay a trillion dollars for a sunset, the sunset has a specific price. The argument fails to address the possibility that something can be 'priceless' or simply beyond calculation even if we aren't willing to bankrupt the planet for it. Look for an answer that identifies this confusion between having a limit and having a calculable price.
