             Should education be a public good or a commodity? Firstly, it would depend on how each of the terms, public good and commodity are viewed.
             "Public" as defined in The Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary as "of, relating to, or affecting all the people or the whole area of a nation or state", whereas good, in its intended sense, is defined as "something that has economic utility or satisfies an economic want". The collaboration of these two words into a phrase would therefore be: something that has economic utility, or satisfies and economic want, that relates to or affects the people of a whole area, nation or state.
             Public goods, as defined by Biz/Ed online are items which can be jointly consumed by many consumers simultaneously without any loss in quantity or quality of provision.
