Recenzje

This important book is by a world leader in the study of social welfare. It provides an extremely useful introduction to a field that deserves a central place in all curricula. Everyone interested in public policy should be familiar with the insights and methods developed in Measuring Social Welfare. It enhances our ability to assess complex social situations, taking into account efficiency and equity simultaneously, and provides a toolkit that increases our ability to assess options, trade-offs, and fairness."-Marc Fleurbaey, Robert E. Kuenne Professor in Economics and Humanistic Studies, Woodrow Wilson School, Princeton University
