| | Common good - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | 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). | | | These definitions of the common good present it as a quality which is convertible, or reducible, to the sum total of all the private interests of the individual members of a society and interchangeable with them. | | | collective good (social good) - private good - common good - common-pool resource - club good - public good - global public good - Accounting good |

| | The Common Good and Catholic Social Teaching |
| | The concept of an international or global common good demands that no nation should be left incapable of participation in the global economy because it is too poor or too much in debt. | | | On the contrary it is a firm and persevering determination to commit oneself to the common good; that is to say, to the good of all and of each individual because we are all really responsible for all" (paragraphs 38.3-38.4). | | | If democracy is not to become a democratic tyranny in which the majority oppresses the minority, it is necessary for the public to have an understanding of the common good and the concepts that underlie it. |

| | Catholic social teaching -- on common good |
| | The very nature of the common good requires that all members of the state be entitled to share in it, although in different ways according to each one's tasks, merits and circumstances. | | | Individual nations must measure their own self-interest against the greater common good and contribute equitably to global solutions. | | | We have many partial ways to measure and debate the health of our economy: Gross National Product, per capita income, stock market prices, and so forth. |

| | Education Policy Analysis Archives: Vol. 2 No. 11 Covaleskie "On Education and the Common Good" |
| | Precisely for this reason, education should remain a function of the polity: it is in the public discussion about public policy in public space that the balance between personal interest and common good is properly maintained, or at least sought. | | | The point is that education is certainly beneficial to individuals who receive it, but to think of education as purely a private and personal good properly distributed through the market is seriously to misconstrue the meaning of education. | | | Capitalism is good at providing individuals with incentive to produce things that can be sold at a profit. |

| | The Demand for the Common Good by Jonathan Rowe |
| | Citizens will get annual reports on the state of their common assets, just as shareholders get annual reports on the state of their corporate assets. | | | It is the invisible economy called the commons, which is the part of life that is not the market and not the state, but is the shared heritage of us all. | | | The commons is the next supply-side, and it needs to become warp and woof of policy on a global basis. |

| | Archive April 1997 What Conservatives Owe Ayn Rand |
| | Capitalism is good, but only when unfettered by agendas that do not serve to promote the interests of freedom. | | | Rand herself defined capitalism simply as, "a social system based on the recognition of individual rights, including property rights, in which all property is privately owned." As simple as that definition sounds, it requires an understanding of what the term "individual rights" really means. | | | Allow me to submit that capitalism itself serves no interests like the nebulous common good. |

| | QandO: On HIllary and the Common Good |
| | Hillary is advocating the collections of taxes as a means to affect social and societal change- to enforce an her version of the "common good" where those of us who would support paying taxes for vital govt services would absolutely balk at that idea. | | | Posted by: Jon Henke at July 7, 2004 12:07 PM Even those Constitutionally required functions of the government are "for the Common Good". | | | The more ordinary people spend the money they have earned for whatever they want, the less is available to the government as taxes to spend for "the common good" as Hillary Clinton recently put it. |

| | Business, Faith and the Common Good |
| | What this approach asks is that they put their considerable talents to work not just for the financial success of their shareholders or the interests of their stakeholders but for the furtherance of what is highest and best in the human enterprise. | | | As a result, it misses the mark when it claims to know what the purpose of business is. The connection between business and the common good ends up being little more than an afterthought. | | | The balancing of stakeholder interests is often treated in practice more as a necessity businesses have to put up with, not an essential part of the purpose of business as such. |

| | The Common Good vs Individualism |
| | Maintaining a common good often requires that particular individuals or particular groups bear costs that are much greater than those borne by others. | | | Finally, appeals to the common good are confronted by the problem of an unequal sharing of burdens. | | | While a may agree, for example, that an affordable health system a healthy educational system, and a clean environment are all parts of the common good, some will say the, more should be invested in health than in education, while others will favor directing resources to the environment over both health and education. |
