Total and Marginal Utility

Utility in Economics is another word for "happiness". Most people would argue that more is always better. This lesson introduces and analyzes the relationship between the level of consumption of a particular good and the consumer's total and marginal utility derived from the good's consumption. We introduce the "law of diminishing marginal utility", which itself helps explain the

I'm currently doing my internal AS91401 and I was struggling understanding what total utility and marginal utility are. Fortunately, I found this video and it is very easy to understand. Thanks a lot!

[@londonsars0234]

Anyone who starts an economics video with "Making Me Nervous" by Brad Sucks has got my attention!! This video was very helpful!

[@Freeman265]

this tutorial has helped understand the law of demand and made my eco start up simple......bravo tutor

[@tzutzu6455]

NO WONDER DEMAND CURVES ARE ALWAYS DOWNWARD SLOPING (because of Diminishing Marginal Revenue)... My teacher never cared to explain it! Thank you!

[@bobbysteakhouse7022]

I thought it was because the Law of Demand says that there is an inverse relationship between price and quantity demanded, thus a downward sloping line

Sir aap bahut achcha padhaate Hain

[@mariakouloglou8327]

I have seen the idea that marginal utility cannot be negative because it's always beneficial to have more of a good. Even if you don't want to eat 10 ice creams, you can still give them away to friends or sell them, so they still provide benefit to you.

[@sol_music]

Thank you so much!

I dont believe that marginal utility can be negative. Actually, owning a good or a service does not mean that we have to consume it (for instance, owning or buying many cookies does not necessarily imply that we will have to eat all of them). So, I think the lowest possible value of MU is zero. Why do we need to assume that rational individuals would literally consume the good or service if they know, ex ante, that it would harm them or decrease their satisfaction level !!! What about the preference propriety: "More is Better"???

[@duffdingelmeyer7101]

Value is proportional to labor time. Utils are nonsense
