[This is part of the series: The Complete Guide To Economics 101.]
In economics, what is excludabilty?
Excludabilty is being able to prevent someone, or some group, from consuming a certain good.
For example:
Can I prevent you from consuming my ice-cream?
Yes I can.
My Ice-cream, therefore, has the property of being excludable.
This issue has a lot to do with property rights.
