It defines key characteristics of excludability and rivalry in consumption. Private goods are excludable and rival, while public goods are non-excludable and non-rival. Common resources are non-excludable but rival. The document discusses how free riders can consume public goods without paying and the tragedy of the commons, where common resources are depleted if not regulated. Government policy options are discussed to address issues with non-private goods.
