Common Good (economics)
Common goods (also called common-pool resources) are defined in economics as goods that are rivalrous and non-excludable. Thus, they constitute one of the four main types based on the criteria: * whether the consumption of a good by one person precludes its consumption by another person ( rivalrousness) * whether it is possible to prevent people (consumers) who have not paid for it from having access to it ( excludability) As common goods are accessible by everybody, they are at risk of being subject to overexploitation which leads to diminished availability if people act to serve their own self-interests. History Despite its growing importance in modern society, the concept of the common good was first mentioned more than two thousand years ago in the writings of Plato, Aristotle, and Cicero.
