Public Goods in Everyday Life
By June Sekera
This module offers a framework for understanding “public goods” as a concept in economics and as real-world goods and services. The framework builds on the “historical school” public economics theory. The module provides a pragmatic understanding of public goods, enabling students with or without a background in economics to consider and appreciate public goods in the context of their daily lives. The module is suitable for use in courses in economics, sociology, political science, public law, social history and related fields.
