| | 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, then, is the sum total of the conditions of social life which enable people the more easily and straightforwardly to do so. |

| | Substitute good - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | 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. | | | 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. | | | 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. |

| | from |
| | Since the Islamic society is supposed to base its societal relationships, its economic activity and accounting on the basis of the Sharia’, it would be good to consider the general and especially the economic objectives of the sharia in addition to surveying the specific commandments related to economics and accounting. | | | Accounting theory is that branch of accounting which consists of the systematic statement of principles and methodology as distinct from practice...which it underlies, explains and attempts to predict. | | | A positive view of accounting theory states that the purpose of accounting theory is to explain and predict accounting practice as it is. This is the view of positivists such as Watts and Zimmerman (1978), Jensen and Meckling (1986) and Dopuch (1980) who criticise the value-ladenness and ‘unscientific’ nature of normative theory. |

| | Gresham's Law (tdctrade.com) |
| | Sir Thomas Gresham probably did not expect, when he expressed his opinion that "bad money drives out good", that it would become a dictum, and indeed a Law in monetary economics named after him. | | | The intrinsic values of the two currencies could be equalised through a freely determined exchange rate, and possibly through interest rates, if there is a reliable market for it, in which case it would be difficult to choose between the good money and the bad. | | | In terms of bank deposits, therefore, the good money would be favoured and would possibly dominate in the balance sheet of the banking system. |

| | The National Income Accounts |
| | However, it’s good for you to know what the national income accounts are composed of because almost all countries in the world use it, and they are also used in contexts of valuing environmental goods in some instances. | | | One thing that we don’t spend as much time on in economics nowadays is national income accounting. | | | But a quick exercise to see how the national income accounts work is good to see – the national income accounts are frequently cited in the media. |

| | Bad Money Drives Out the Good Service |
| | A negative EROEI means that mankind is throwing "good" energy away to move "dirt" and, in the end, recover low-grade raw hydrocarbon material that requires even more energy to upgrade to some useable form. | | | According to Huber, Hubbert's Peak Oil theory is "junk economics." Huber believes that EROEI is "sophomoric" and "irrelevant." And Huber states that Hubbert's matter-energy system is "nonsense" whose "constraints count for nothing." After all, states Huber, we are talking about "the real world" in which all that "investors...care about is dollar return on dollar invested." | | | Huber explains and justifies his ad hominem assault on the departed Hubbert as follows: "Today this same nonsense (Hubbert's 'matter-energy' system) is often dressed up with numbers in an analysis that's dubbed 'energy return on energy invested' (EROEI). |
