Arrow Impossibility Theorem - Maskin, Eric (A.O. Hirschman Professor of Social Science, Institute for Advanced Study) a Sen, Amartya, FBA

Kenneth J. Arrow's "impossibility theorem" was a watershed in welfare economics, voting theory, and collective choice. This book explores the implications of Arrow's theorem. Amartya Sen considers its value and limitations in relation to social reasoning, and Eric Maskin discusses how to design a voting rule that gets us closer to the ideal.
