>From W. J. Ashley's Bibliographical Appendix to Mill's Principles (The
Library of Economics and Liberty
[http://www.econlib.org/library/Mill/mlP74.html]):
"The German language possesses no one inclusive term like "Wealth"; and
German economists have long been accustomed to begin with the definition of
"goods" (Guter) and, in consequence, of "a good" (Gut)-enjoying, in the use
of the latter term, an advantage not available in current English speech.
(...) The phrases "goods," "economic goods," "an economic good," and so on,
have of late years made their way into English and still more into American
economic writings; see, for instance, Marshall (as above), and Clark,
Essentials of Economic Theory (1907), ch. 2; and cf. Pierson, Principles of
Economics (Eng. trans. 1902), pt. i. ch. i."
