Our book, Public Goods, Sustainable Development and the Contribution of Business, speaks to the current and historical role of businesses and their contribution and connection to public goods and sustainable development. The ratiocination is that maintaining and expanding public goods is equal to promoting sustainable development.
The authors are aware that the topic of public goods has been researched from various perspectives for quite some time. There is a broad literature on dynamic theories of public goods, valuation and voting models, local, regional and global public goods, public inputs, public capital and infrastructure, club goods, fiscal competition and coordination,
to name just the foremost. However, it appears that much of the research concentrates on restricted spheres of macroeconomic theory or on the role of “the state” in political science literature, but it is rarely connected to the
meso- and micro-levels. This is an oversight since it is institutions and businesses that contribute the most to maintaining and expanding public goods. This book attempts to elaborate on that nexus.
