Against Injustice
CHAPTER 13 Limits Of Utilitarianism As The Ethical Basis Of Publicaction
Though utilitarianism has been highly influential as a normative theory of public action, it has faced many searching criticisms throughout its history. In welfare economics, where the dominant conceptual framework was basically utilitarian for a long time, many distinctly non‐utilitarian ethical concerns have been explored in the last few decades. This chapter provides a review of some of the arguments advanced by the critics of utilitarianism a…
The Handbook of Rational and Social Choice
This book provides an overview of issues arising in work on the foundations of decision theory and social choice over the past three decades. Drawing on work by economic theorists mainly, but also with contributions from political science, philosophy, and psychology, the collection shows how the related areas of decision theory and social choice have developed in their applications and moved well beyond the basic models of expected utility and ut…

On Measuring Personal Connections and the Extent of Social Networks
The notions of personal connection and social networks are key ingredients of the increasingly important concept of social capital in social sciences in general and in economics in particular. This paper discusses the problem of measuring personal connection and the extent of social networks that may exist in a society. For this purpose we develop several conceptual and analytical frameworks. In the process, we axiomatically characterize several …

Similarity of Options and the Measurement of Diversity
This article analyzes the measurement of the diversity of sets based on the dissimilarity of the objects contained in the set. We discuss axiomatic approaches to diversity measurement and examine the considerations underlying the application of specific measures. Our focus is on descriptive issues: rather than assuming a specific ethical position or restricting attention to properties that are appealing in specific applications, we address the fo…
On Measuring Deprivation and the Standard of Living in a Multidimensional Framework on the Basis of Aggregate Data
In measuring social deprivation in a multidimensional framework, ideally one should first measure each individual's overall deprivation, and then aggregate the overall deprivation levels of all individuals. However, given only aggregate data, one is often forced to measure social deprivation in terms of each attribute separately and then to aggregate them so as to get the overall social deprivation. This paper shows that it is only under extremel…

The Liberal Paradox
The paper seeks to interpret the liberal paradox in a framework where individual rights are represented as game forms. Several close counterparts, in this framework, of Sen’s theorem are considered, and their intuitive significance is discussed
Choice, Welfare, and Development
Professor Amartya Sen has been a distinguished and influential scholar in development economics for over twenty years, and this edited volume seeks to reflect his interests, and the inspiration he has provided for others. The editors have succeeded in creating a coherent and stimulating set of papers from well-known contributors. The volume deals with the enduring themes of Amartya Sen's work, ranging through theoretical issues of development eco…

Individual Rights Revisited
Since Amartya Sen's contribution on the impossibility of a Paretian liberal, his formulation of libertarian rights has been under debate. In this paper, the authors highlight some important strands in this debate, and achieve some conceptual clarification of the different and often incompatible views of individual rights. They demonstrate in terms of a counterexample and general reasoning that Sen's concept can, more often than not, be inconsiste…
On Ranking Opportunity Sets in Terms of Freedom of Choice
The paper explores the notion of freedom of choice which is of considerable importance in welfare economics and the theory of social choice. Three plausible axioms are introduced for ranking alternative opportunity sets in terms of the degrees of freedom that they offer to the agent making choices. It is shown that, under these axioms, judgements about degrees of freedom of choice have to be based on the naive principle of simply counting the num…

Distributive Justice and Inequality
On the Consistency of Libertarian Values
Amartya Sen's paradox of the Paretian liberal has been generally interpreted as reflecting a conflict between individual rights and even the weakest versions of welfarism, and several writers have suggested resolutions of the paradox that give priority to individual rights over the Pareto principle. In this paper, it is argued that there is an inherent tension between individual rights and several group rights that have the same intuitive foundat…

Rights, welfarism, and social choice
The purpose of this paper is to outline a formal analytical framework that can accommodate considerations of individual rights as well as the more familiar ethical concerns of conventional welfare economics. The failure to accommodate such fundamental values as rights has been at the heart of Amartya K. Sen's (1979) criticism of welfarism which is inherent in much of welfare economics and social-choice theory. However, the roots of the problem se…

A Note on the ‘Rationality of Becoming’ and Revealed Preference
This note comments on Professor Majumdar’s concept of an individual who seeks to change his own preferences over time. It is argued that while one can formulate “revealed preference axioms“ which will rationalize the choices of Professor Majumdar’s individual, it is unlikely that the choice of such an individual will reveal his preferences

Voting and Collective Choice
Conditions for Transitive and Quasi-Transitive Majority Decisions
This paper has two objectives. First, we prove certain general theorems which reveal the close relationship between two sets of results in the recent discussion of the conditions (formulated in terms of restricted preferences) for consistent majority decisions. The first set of these results is concerned with sufficient (and sometimes with necessary) conditions for transitive majority decisions over a triple of alternatives (a) for the case where…
