Private markets can provide public goods when it becomes commercially beneficial for them to do so. Look at defence for an example.

The requirements of something being classified as being a public good does not include it being a loss-making enterprise.


What kind of good is it. A treadmill in a fitness room that open to the public - private good - common resource - public good - monopolies natural?

It is a common resource.A good that is rival in consumption and nonexcludable is a common source. Since it is open to the public is rival in consumption since two people cannot use the bike at the same time. BUT, it is nonexcudable, since anyone is free to use the fitness room.


What is the difference between private goods and public goods?

Public goods are goods where it is too difficult to separate between payers and non payers (The technical term is non-excludable) and where there are plenty of the good and so there is no reason to deny someone else use of the good (non-rivaled). For example, street lighting is a public good. The good is non-rivaled because somebody using the lighting does not make it less bright for other users. It is also non-excludable as you cannot make people pay for the good as they use it (You don't see coin slots on lamposts do you?) Goods such as Public Heathcare (NHS etc) are made public through the use of government, as it is common in many countries to charge people for visiting a doctor with an illness but the government uses its funds to allow the good to be available to everyone without causing this to impact anyone elses healthcare. (Obviously things are not as perfect in the real world as we do need to queue for our doctor, drugs etc). A private good is the opposite of a public good. It can no longer be used after consumption and is it is easy to make people pay for the good. An example of a private good would be a BigMac. Once someone has eaten the BigMac, there is none left for anyone else. Also it is easy to charge people seperately for their BigMacs.
