Description

The Arrow Impossibility Theorem by Eric Maskin and Amartya Sen A foundational work in economics, this book explores the implications of Kenneth Arrow's groundbreaking impossibility theorem. The authors examine its ongoing utility and limitations, shedding light on recent research in social reasoning. Sen and Maskin discuss how to design a voting rule that gets us closer to the ideal, given that achieving it is impossible. This volume also features an introduction by Prasanta K. Pattanaik, commentaries from Joseph E. Stiglitz and Kenneth Arrow, and essays outlining the mathematical proof and framework behind their assertions. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the Arrow Impossibility Theorem, making it a valuable resource for scholars and researchers in economics and related fields.
