	Free rider problem Summary
		In the narrow sense, a free rider is someone who receives the benefits of a cooperative venture without contributing to the provision of those benefits.
		Because the notion of "fairness" is controversial, free riding is usually only considered to be an economic "problem" when it leads to the non-production or under-production of a public good, and thus to Pareto inefficiency, or when it leads to the excessive use of a common property resource.
		A common example of a free rider problem is defense spending: no person can be excluded from being defended by a state's military forces, and thus free riders may refuse or avoid paying for being defended, even though they are still as well guarded as those who contribute to the state's efforts.
