A. Shopping Malls

Public Goods are commodities or services that are provided without profit to all members of a society, either by the government or a private individual or organization.

"a conviction that library informational services are a public good, not a commercial commodity"

a. shopping malls

Explanation:

The public good is that which, for the most part, belongs to the government and is kept with public money, that is, from taxes paid by taxpayers. These goods may be held by the federal, state and municipal governments, each in its own sphere of activity. On a much smaller scale, there are also public goods provided and maintained by private entities. Thus, it is understood that it is a non-exclusive good, of an egalitarian and non-divisible character.

A shopping mall is an exclusive good, not owned by the government and not kept with public money, so we can conclude that a shopping mall is not a public good.

Mansa Musa inherited a kingdom that was already wealthy, but his work in expanding trade made Mali the wealthiest kingdom in Africa. His riches came from mining significant salt and gold deposits in the Mali kingdom. Elephant ivory was another major source of wealth.

When Mansa Musa went on a pilgrimage (hajj) to Mecca in 1324 C.E., his journey through Egypt caused quite a stir. The kingdom of Mali was relatively unknown outside of West Africa until this event. Arab writers from the time said that he travelled with an entourage of tens of thousands of people and dozens of camels, each carrying 136 kilograms (300 pounds) of gold. While in Cairo, Mansa Musa met with the Sultan of Egypt, and his caravan spent and gave away so much gold that the overall value of gold decreased in Egypt for the next 12 years. Stories of his fabulous wealth even reached Europe. The Catalan Atlas, created in 1375 C.E. by Spanish cartographers, shows West Africa dominated by a depiction of Mansa Musa sitting on a throne, holding a nugget of gold in one hand and a golden staff in the other. After the publication of this atlas, Mansa Musa became cemented in the global imagination as a figure of stupendous wealth.
