	20th WCP: Utility and Universality versus Utility and the General Good
		The greatest good is not the good of the greatest number, the greatest good is the universal good.
		Economics is the art, which deals with the growth of wealth; the art of the true distribution and maintenance of goods.
		The philosophical answer is: the greatest good is the universal good, and the universal good is that which is not contradictory in it's application.

	The Economic Way of Thinking Part 1 \| The Foundation for Economic Education: The Freeman, Ideas on Liberty
		In contrast to free goods, economic goods are characterized by scarcity.
		An economic good is one that humans cannot obtain in quantities sufficient to satisfy their wants at a zero price.
		In this first of a series of essays on the economic way of thinking, I have defined economics as the basic study of human action, that is, of conscious, purposeful human behavior.

	Basic Concepts of Economic Value (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The economic value of a particular item, or good, for example a loaf of bread, is measured by the maximum amount of other things that a person is willing to give up to have that loaf of bread.
		Thus, economic value is measured by the most someone is willing to give up in other goods and services in order to obtain a good, service, or state of the world.
		Economic values are also affected by the changes in price or quality of substitute goods or complementary goods.

	Chapter 2. Economy and Economic Goods
		They must become clear: (a) about their requirementsthat is, about the quantities of goods they will need to satisfy their needs during the time period over which their plans extend, and (b) about the quantities of goods at their disposal for the purpose of meeting these requirements.
		We have defined an economic good as a good whose available quantity does not meet requirements completely, and thus we have the principle that the existence of requirements for goods of higher order is dependent upon the corresponding goods of lower order having economic character.
		But with these goods, as with goods of first order, they find that some are available in quantities exceeding their requirements while the opposite relationship prevails with others.

	Common Good Progressivism (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The principle of the common good is drawn upon in these faiths to guide people towards more thoughtful consideration of their own actions in light of others; to compel political leaders and policy makers to consider the needs of the entire society; and to check unrestrained individualism that frequently erodes community sensibilities and values.
		The goal of the common good in both the secular and faith traditions is a more balanced and considerate populace that seeks to provide the social and economic conditions necessary for all people to lead meaningful and dignified lives.
		Common good progressives should promote a tax system that rewards work; enhanced labor laws to protect workers and increase their collective bargaining power; and a global trade system that helps those who are economically displaced and protects labor and environmental standards in addition to increasing overall growth.

	CDC - Applying Economic Principles to Health Care
		The economic impacts of pain and suffering are of concern to the patient and society, but may not be relevant to a purely economic analysis of costs from the perspective of health-care providers or third-party payers (2).
		The economic analysis in this instance is similar in complexity to the analysis of environmental problems such as air and water quality (4).
		Public goods represent a class of economic goods because by their nature they are nonrivaled and nonexclusive in consumption.

		Good governance means equal protection for women and minorities and open and fair access to judicial and administrative systems.
		Good governance also means the absence of corruption, and countries will not be eligible for MCA assistance if they are corrupt.
		Corruption damages economic development and reform, impedes the ability of developing countries to attract foreign investment, hinders the growth of democratic institutions, and concentrates power in the hands of a few.

	The nature of blood as an economic good
		In essence then, “an economic good is a desirable thing of which there is not enough to satisfy the desires of those who want it” [1], and which can, by implication, be successfully rationed, usually by means of the price mechanism.
		It is thus obvious that every economic good has some intrinsic price attached to it, even if the person who actually consumes it does not pay for it, as is the case with gifts (which are paid for by a donor) or publicly provided goods (whose costs are borne by the taxpayer).
		While the range of economic goods is immense, covering everything from guns to butter, the number of real life items that do not, to some extent, display the characteristics of an economic good is minimal [2].

	A Model for Efficient Aggregation of Resources for Economic Public Goods on the Internet
		A public good is a good that is non-depletable and non-excludable, as we illustrate in a moment.
		Unlike the case of public good externalities that differ from plain-old public goods only by the intent of their creator, private goods externalities represent a fundamentally different class of economic good: it is a good that is a half-step from a public good toward a private good.
		A public good is a good that, once produced, is undiminished by being used by one or more users (it is non-depletable) and available to all (it is non-excludable).

	water as a social and economic good
		Furthermore, this paper suggests, contrary to the public perception, that with the improvement of the use of economic tools, the role for government regulation in managing water as an economic good is increased, not decreased.
		The Full Economic Cost of water is the sum of the Full Supply Cost as described in the previous section, the Opportunity Cost associated with the alternate use of the same water resource, and the Economic Externalities imposed upon others due to the consumption of water by a specific actor.
		The standard economic approach to externalities is to define the system in such a way as to "internalize the externalities." In this paper we have chosen to separate the economic and environmental externalities, realizing that in some cases it will be difficult to distinguish exactly between them.

		According to a recent report titled “The National Income in the Second Quarter of 2007” released by the Bank of Korea, real GDP in the second quarter grew by 1.8 percent compared to the previous quarter, the highest rate since the fourth quarter growth of 2.7 percent in 2003.
		However, amid such positive economic indicators, private consumption merely increased 0.8 percent compared to the previous quarter, and the contribution of domestic demand to GDP growth fell from 1.3 to 0.9 percentage points compared to the previous quarter.
		Yoo Byeong-gyu at the Hyundai Economic Research Institute pointed out, “Export growth is led by major companies in automobiles and semiconductors, while domestic demand is driven by SME manufacturers,” adding, “The domestic demand contributed less to the GDP growth rate, which shows bipolarization of actual economic sentiment and economic indicators.”

		More than four in five Brazilians said last week that they expect 2007 to be a good or very good year for them, according to a survey by the polling firm Ibope.
		Eighty-two percent expressed confidence that their personal incomes would increase or at least stay the same over the next six months, and more than half approved of the way Lula is combating inflation -- which means a lot to a country that struggled with years of hyperinflation.
		If Lula's objective was to modestly continue free-market reforms and attain economic stability, his presidency so far could be labeled a success.

	WATER AS AN ECONOMIC GOOD:
		For normal economic goods which are exchanged between buyers and sellers under a specified set of conditions, this value can be measured by estimating the area under the demand curve.
		A corollary is that the (small) economic benefits of moving to marginal cost pricing have to be weighed against the (large) administrative and governance costs of dealing with a system which "defies common sense" for most customers.
		Finally, it is important to acknowledge that the idea of "water as an economic good" is but one of a triad of related ideas which will increasingly shape the way in which societies are organized (and water managed) in the latter part of the twentieth century.

		There is an economically optimal level of automobile use beyond which increased driving is overall harmful to society.
		Many countries experience their greatest economic growth when per capita automobile use is relatively low, and economic growth rates decline as households become wealthy enough to afford more consumer goods such as private cars.

		Nations with high levels of inflation also tend to have high variability in their inflation rates, but there is a slightly stronger statistical relationship between the variability of the inflation rate (as measured by its standard deviation) and GDP growth than is true for the level of inflation.

		In short, a company is allowed greater tax benefits if it grows its employment and payroll bases in the United States, and just the opposite occurs when they offshore their business and jobs at the expense of U.S. jobs and prosperity.
		In addition, state and local governments should be forbidden to give economic development incentives, tax exemptions, and tax credits to any business (domestic and international) that fails to meet the federal performance measures I've described above.
