Definition and Statement of the Law: The law of diminishing marginal utility describes a familiar and fundamental tendency of human behavior. The law of diminishing marginal utility states that: As a consumer consumes more and more units of a specific commodity, the utility from the successive units goes on diminishing. Mr. H. Gossen, a German economist, was first to explain this law in 1854.
If the marginal utility of one thing is diminishing, and the other is not increasing, all else being equal, an individual will demand an increasing ratio of that which is acquired to that which is sacrificed.
