| | Common good - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | However, in economics, the term "common good" is used to refer to a competitive non-excludable good. | | | A more satisfactory definition of the common good, as the quintessential goal of the State, requires an admission of the individual's basic right in society, which is, namely, the right of everyone to the opportunity to freely shape his life by responsible action, in pursuit of virtue and in accordance with the moral law. | | | The common good is a term that can refer to several different concepts. |

| | Catholic social teaching -- on common good |
| | It is also demanded by the common good that civil authorities should make earnest efforts to bring about a situation in which individual citizens can easily exercise their rights and fulfill their duties as well. | | | One of the chief consequences of this is that they must bring their own interests into harmony with the needs of the community, and must contribute their goods and their services as civil authorities have prescribed, in accord with the norms of justice and within the limits of their competence. | | | The function of the rulers of the State is to watch over the community and its parts; but in protecting private individuals in their rights, chief consideration ought to be given to the weak and the poor. |

| | The Demand for the Common Good by Jonathan Rowe |
| | The commons is not a relic of a bygone age. | | | Once it is established that quiet is a commons, moreover, then it becomes a form of property, and those who violate it become trespassers. | | | In this and other contexts, commons thinking turns the tables on the “takings” argument—the claim that regulations constitute a “taking” of private property and therefore require compensation. |
