Collective good

From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.

Collective goods (or social goods) are defined as public goods that could be delivered as private goods, but are delivered instead by the government for various reasons (usually social policy) and financed from public funds like taxes.

In a more broad definition, collective good describes all that is good for all people in a given community.
