Public Goods, Privates Goods: the merging in global space

Global space can hardly contain the infinite volume of activities and pastimes that nations and people in them want to undertake, particularly when everyone demands that, whether it is goods or services, the provision should both be of the finest quality and at a reasonable price.

To add to the difficulties involved in achieving such goals, new obstacles arrive daily. Goals may be conflicting, nations may have different real and financial priorities, and individuals and institutions may impose on each other in unacceptable ways.

Public Goods, Private Goods: The Merging in Global Space confronts some of the basic issues raised by a bevy of economists and informed observers. It presents real, recent data for twenty nations, pertaining to environment, finance, and health, among other concerns. Afterward, it furnishes suggestions offered by economists, area specialists, and the author in an effort to smooth the passage to global reconciliation.
