General theory of goods.

What is a useful thing?

Things that can be placed in a causal connection with the satisfaction of human needs we term useful things.

If we can use or direct these things to fulfill the human satisfaction then we call them we call them goods.

Moreover is a thing has to become a good then it must satisfy the follwing conditions-

1. It should be required or there must be a human need.

2. It must have certain properties that can be modified or utilised so as to fulfill the human need.

3. Human must possess the knowledge to use that good.

4. Human must posses enough power or resources to use that thing to the level of humna satisfaction.

A thing can become good only when all of these four characters were present and will lose the value or the status of being a good when any of this character went missing. 

Therefore there must be a relation that can be estabilished between the thing and humans and this relation depends upon the inherent property of the things and in the way they can be uutilised to the human benefit and will be discarded once they lost thier value or there is a change in its properties with time or they do not satisfy the human needs at that given time.
