English translation:public goods and social goods
Explanation:
assuming it's 'dobra publiczne i dobra społeczne

The government spends billions of pounds each year on public goods. To understand the nature of these goods more clearly, and why the government is left to provide these for people throughout the economy, we must consider the characteristics of private goods;

The distribution of social goods should be arrived at in a pluralistic manner. "Social goods ought to be distributed for different reasons, in accordance with different procedures, by different agents; and that all these differences derive from different understandings of the social goods themselves - the inevitable product of historical and cultural particularism." (Walzer, 1983, 6)
