| | Good Governance and the MDGs: Contradictory or Complementary?- Social and Economic Policy - Global Policy Forum |
 | | 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. | | | Good governance as with good intentions on the MDGs must confront and not disguise those structures and systems that generate enormous inequalities between in global consumption and are responsible for the state of oppression and misery afflicting the majority of the worlds inhabitants. | | | Good governance recipes handed down by the economic powers and demanded by multinational corporations carefully avoid raising questions about the nature and realm of development, the politics of the dominant economic growth paradigm, and the forces that control such development in their own self-interest. |

| | Of course, if the depositors' fears are justified and the bank is economically insolvent, other banks would be unlikely to throw good money after bad by recycling their fund to the insolvent bank. | | | "The reason for my passion on economics is that you can reach conclusions," he says. | | | By including a wide array of topics, Henderson wants to show "how general and inclusive economics is," and he hopes the encyclopedia will appeal to economics mavens and novices alike. |

| | Common good - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | However, in economics, the term "common good" is used to refer to a competitive non-excludable good. | | | Common goods should not be confused with another subtype of public goods: the collective goods (also known as social goods), which are defined as goods that could be delivered as private goods, but are delivered instead by the government for various reasons (usually social policy). | | | The common good is often regarded as a utilitarian ideal, thus representing "the greatest possible good for the greatest possible number of individuals". |

| | 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. |

| | Goodness and value theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The idea that the ultimate good exists and is not orderable but is globally measurable is reflected in various ways in classical economics, green economics, welfare economics and the Gross National Happiness and measuring well-being theories, all of which focus on various ways of of assessing progress towards that goal, a so-called Genuine Progress Indicator. | | | Values play an important part in everyday life; everyone has their own set of beliefs about what is and isn't good or valuable. | | | In other words, good is situated in a particular place and one does not dismiss everything that is not available there (such as very low gravity or absolutely abundant sugar candy) as "not good enough", one works within its constraints. |

| | Supply and demand |
| | In general, the theory claims that when goods are traded in a market at a price where consumers demand more goods than firms are prepared to supply, this shortage (or excess demand) will tend to lead to increases in the price of the goods. | | | Complement goods are goods that are typically utilized together, where if one is consumed, usually the other is also. | | | In this case the good demanded is actually prestige, and not a car, so when the price of the luxury car decreases, it is actually changing the amount of prestige so the demand is not decreasing since it is a different good (see Veblen good). |

The basic message: think long-term. |
