Indifference curves for nonallocable input and good outcomes in the domain of the Profane F & Sacred S.

Notes: Maximizing own-interest always means some altruism, some sacrifice, in both the domains of the Profane F & Sacred S, with F2 < F3 and S2 < S3 at point Bo. Notice the paths could refer to inputs priced by rj, private goods priced by pi, and public goods paid with tax tk. Notice that F and S represent payoffs to the consumer (e.g., utility) when the axis represent goods or represent products when the axis are inputs.
