extra benefit to society of getting one more unit of the
good = extra cost to
society of producing one more unit of the good .
Alternatively ,
if MB > MC ( more should be
produced ) society places a
greater value on an extra unit of the
good than
it costs to
produce it
if Mc > MB (less should be produced) It costs to produce extra unit
good than the value
more an
