| | 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. |

| | Thus, promotion of human rights, democracy, elections, constitutionalism, rule of law, property rights, good governance, neo-liberal economics have become part and parcel of the international peacebuilding/good governance project as well as the basis for a rapid surge in social and economic affairs. | | | In its version of good governance, the International Monetary Fund employs its power that is, conditionalityto push institution-building and policy advice on banking law, contract law, company law, and on the role of the judiciary and arbitration mechanisms modeled on US jurisprudence. | | | Donor rediscovery of the state (good governance) is somewhat suspect. |

| | A New Socialist Economics |
| | The goal of a socialist society in this regard is then to ensure that enterprise and trade is fair and unexploitative of the people and their interests, and that the welfare of society is not endangered by the abuse of such enterprise by capital. | | | A good example of such a model would be the public school system; everyone is guaranteed an education (the quality and extent of which are another issue) in publicly owned schools, which are budgeted and administered by electable, accountable school boards. | | | Socialism is and will continue to be larger than its economics or issues of ownership; the centuries-old ideals of social, political, and economic justice transcend the confines of one school of economic thought. |

| | Teaching Social Economics |
| | In "Approaches to Development Economics: A Social Economist& Perspective," Kishor Thanawala states that mainstream development economists are often preoccupied with self-sustained growth, establishment and evolution of institutions, and other issues relating to attainment of a higher standard of living. | | | In contrast to conventional economics, he continues, social economics is concerned with human values, the nature of the person, the distribution of wealth, income, and power, and the well-being of those who are not able to fully participate in economic affairs. | | | Four domains of special concern in health economics which suggest important affinities with social economics are: the relationship between the health provider and patient; the attenuation of standard market logic through third-party participation; the concept of well-being used in health-care outcome measurement; and the public policy issue concerning high rates of uninsurance. |

| | Substitute good - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | In economics, one kind of good (or service) is said to be a substitute good for another kind insofar as the two kinds of goods can be consumed or used in place of one another in at least some of their possible uses. | | | The fact that one good is substitutable for another has immediate economic consequences: insofar as one good can be substituted for another, the demand for the two kinds of good will be bound together by the fact that customers can trade off one good for the other if it becomes advantageous to do so. | | | One good is a perfect substitute for another only if it can be used in exactly the same way, at exactly the same cost, and with exactly the same quality of outcome; that is, when there is no particular incentive for a customer to prefer one over the other. |
