[edit] Merge

Merge with public good. - Jerryseinfeld 17:24, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Don't be ridiculous. See Talk:Government ownership. Rd232 19:19, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)
So what's the difference? - Jerryseinfeld 23:49, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)
I'm sure you can figure out why, say, healthcare isn't a public good by looking at those pages. If the explanation there really doesn't suffice, then for the love of God go to a public library and pick up an introductory economics textbook. Seriously, even high-school economics students know what a public good is. Rd232 11:06, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Well, don't merge with public good - but what about public value? It does express both, a good and a service. --OliverGraf 00:00, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
No - they're quite different things. Public value is a way of thinking about public services. Rd232 08:33, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
...and public goods! I agree on that so put it under "See also". Would be nice to expand on it later. --OliverGraf 20:25, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
