    1. The profit motive. Free markets form when the profit motive can be satisfied .... more
    2. The principle of diminishability. Stocks of pure private goods will diminish as the good is purchased. .... more
    3. The principle of rivalry. Consumers must compete with each other to get the benefit provided by the good or service... more
    4. The principle of excludability. For markets to form it is essential that consumers can be excluded from gaining the benefit that comes from consumption. .... more
    5. The principle of rejectability. It is also necessary that consumers can reject goods if they do not want or need them.... more
