Content

It seemed unfair to burden newcomers to economics with esoteric arguments about the metaphysical character of the concept of utility, so I have shifted them to the tutorials subpage for the benefit of pedants and economics students. Nick Gardner 08:25, 10 April 2008 (CDT)

Article name

I suspect that eventually we're likely to have other "Utility" pages (e.g. the notion of a public utility, i.e. light, water, etc) so maybe this would be better at Utility (economics)? J. Noel Chiappa 18:07, 10 April 2008 (CDT)
