Preferred term

needs and wants  

Definition(s)

  • The difference between a need and a want, and what (if any) difference this makes from a personal or a collective point of view, are issues that have been intensely discussed in many disciplines. The responses to this will depend on and reflect different conceptions of justice, development, and individual happiness. [Source: Green Consumerism: An A-to-Z Guide; Needs and Wants]
