 Paradox of Value - Economics Dictionary of Arguments
 
Paradox of Value: The Paradox of Value refers to the apparent contradiction where essential goods (e.g., water) have low market prices, while non-essential goods (e.g., diamonds) have high prices. This is resolved by distinguishing between total utility (importance) and marginal utility (value of the next unit), which determines price. See also Value.
