“DEFINITION of 'Law Of Diminishing Marginal Utility' A law of economics stating that as
a person increases consumption of a product - while keeping consumption of
other products constant - there is a decline in the marginal utility that
person derives from consuming each additional unit of that product.”(As per
many textbooks and google.com)…huh?? What is It.? Well I am with you guys. I am
amongst those non-economics students for whom this topic is like an alien to
earth. After reading it for the first time my head started to spin. It always
does after reading any damn new topics of economics. I am a science lover and an
Engineer. Stuff like this suddenly makes me sleepy.

After
consuming one full plate of pani puri you may want to have one more plate of
the same to compensate loss made during your stay in other country. That’s second
pani-puri plate. Later on your friend might insist you to have one more plate. That
will be third one. Then again fourth plate was insisted by someone. Now you are
totally done with your quota for pani puri and if still you are forced to have
one more plate you won’t enjoy it, that’s disutility.
If we
see, second plate may not be that much interesting as first one. Third may not
be as interesting as second one. And so on… now that’s ‘Law of Diminishing
Marginal Utility' in rough. I don’t
want to go in many details, as I am not an expert to comment on this. I am just
a management student.

In the end, stay hungry, stay foolish.
