Description:
Since the Second World War the subject of social choice has grown in many and surprising ways. The impossibility theorems have suggested many directions: mathematical characterisations of voting structures satisfying various sets of conditions, the consequences of restricting choice to certain domains, the relation to competitive equilibrium and the core, and trade-offs among the partial satisfactions of some conditions. The links with classical and modern theories of justice and, in particular the competing ideas of rights and utilitarianism have shown the power of formal social choice analysis is illuminating the most basic philosophical argument s about the good social life.
