 Marginalism - Economics Dictionary of Arguments
 
Marginalism: Marginalism in economics analyzes decision-making based on incremental changes in costs or benefits. It emphasizes the importance of marginal utility (extra satisfaction from consuming one more unit) and marginal cost in optimizing choices. Central to modern economics, marginalism explains pricing, resource allocation, and consumer behavior by focusing on the effects of small adjustments.
