An ersatz good (German: [ɛɐ̯ˈzats] ⓘ) is a substitute good, especially one that is considered inferior to the good it replaces.[1] It has particular connotations of wartime usage.
- ^ Mises, Ludwig von (1949). "War and Autarky". Human Action.
A substitute is a good which is either less suitable or more expensive or both less suitable and more expensive than the proper good which it is designed to replace.
