No, I do not agree with the statement. 

  • Individual wants refer to those wants which are satisfied at the individual level. While collective wants are those wants that are satisfied at the general level or macro level.
  • A doctor using a stethoscope is an example of individual wants while people travelling by train or bus is an example of collective want. 
  • Thus, there is a difference between individual wants and collective wants.
