What is Economic Utility?

In economics, utility refers to the enjoyment or usefulness a consumer can derive from an item or service. Despite being abstract, the idea of utility may be used to explain how and why consumers make decisions. The idea of one good being more helpful or attractive than another is known as “ordinal” utility.
