Book Details
Contents

This book provides a unified and comprehensive study of welfarism, cooperative games, public decision making, and voting and social choice theory.

Problems of fair division, equitable cost-sharing, division of a joint benefit, or the choice of a truly democratic voting rule are familiar subjects of dispute in technologically advanced democracies. This book provides a comprehensive and unified presentation of these technically heterogeneous subjects that are linked by common axioms.
