services are external benifits because they help society. eg. hospitals helps society by reducing illnesses, schools help society by reducing illiteracy

examples of conflicting aims:
aim : high employment--> increase in demand pull inflation  --> conflicts with aim of stable inflation

high employment --> higher incomes --> could be spent on imported goods --> worsen balance of trade .this conflicts with the aim of maintaining a healthy balance of trade

MK:
