Public Goods Viewed Through Entrepreneurship

Public goods, in mainstream economic theory, are goods that are nonrivalrous, where one person using a good does not preclude anyone else's capacity to do the same, and nonexcludable, where owners of the public goods are generally unable to restrict anyone's access to the good.

To the mainstream, public goods present an economic and social problem.

Few have focused on the mainstream's claim that there is no profit potential for goods that anyone can consume and access at any time, meaning that, in mainstream theory, the market for that good will always be in disequilibrium.

Video essays, gaming videos, vlogs, educational videos, and any other kind of video regularly uploaded to YouTube or similar platforms are public goods.

While it would be silly to suggest that the state must assist in providing videos as a result, this is the logic used to justify the state's provision of other public goods.

In short, it is possible to profit from providing public goods.

Reintroducing the entrepreneur and his business structure to the economic reasoning has solved the problem of profit motive and the incentive to provide public goods.
