What is a public good?
A public good is good which is non- excludable and non-rival.This means the utility one person gains from the good does not diminish the utility another person may gain from the good. (non-rival)This also means that it is almost impossible to stop any person gaining utility from the good. (non-excludable)A good example would be a flood defence.
