>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."
