Description
This textbook provides a survey of the literature of social choice. It integrates the ethical aspects of the subject (discussing potentially desirable conditions for social judgments), with positive aspects of decision mechanisms that center on the revelation of true preferences. The book draws together the work of a great many papers in a common notation, pointing out interrelations that are often missing in specialist papers.
Reviews"Craven's Social Choice is a useful book for someone interested in a general overview of social choice and is a 'must buy' for those interested in the connections between social choice theory and mainstream ethics." Ethics
