Discussion

User Owned theory defines Cost from the User's point of view as the Prices of production paid by Owners during the previous round of production.

Cost = Price - Profit

Some costs include: Access, Exclusion, Investment, Insurance, Installation, Maintenance, Operation, Pollution, Security, Storage, Wages.

Contrast this with the Price paid by consumers and Profit as the difference between the two.
