Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A public good is a good that is non-excludable and non-rivalrous, meaning that once it is provided, everyone can benefit from it without reducing the benefit to others. Crime protection provided to a town fits this description as it is available to everyone in the town and one person receiving protection does not reduce the protection available to others. A McDonald's Big Mac and a housing addition are both private goods, and security provided to a government official is non-excludable but is rivalrous as the protection of one government official may reduce the available protection to another.
