[In our earlier discussion of the history of public goods, we missed the opportunity to
provide the answer to the following question. --RBE]
 
 
I am working on my dissertation on public goods and come across some interesting problems.
In the "classic" paper The Pure Theory of Public Expenditure, Samuelson uses the
"collective consumption goods". Also, Olson uses "collective goods"in his book.  so I am
wondering who's the first one to use "public goods" refering to the "public goods"?
