Description
Prioritarianism in Practice explores an ethical theory that prioritises the well-being of those who are worse off. In contrast to common policy-evaluation methods, this approach focuses on fair distribution rather than overall benefits.
This book applies prioritarianism as a methodology to assess governmental policies and evaluate societal conditions across various domains, including taxation, health policy, risk regulation, education, climate policy, and the COVID-19 pandemic. It also demonstrates how prioritarianism can improve upon GDP as an indicator of a society's progress over time.
Edited by senior figures in the field, with contributions from leading economists, this volume bridges the gap between theoretical understanding and practical application of prioritarianism.
