This second part of a two-volume set continues to describe economists'
efforts to quantify the social decisions people necessarily make and
the philosophies that those choices define. Contributors draw on
lessons from philosophy, history, and other disciplines, but they
ultimately use editor Kenneth Arrow's seminal work on social choice as
a jumping-off point for discussing ways to incentivize, punish, and
distribute goods.
* Develops many subjects from Volume 1 (2002) while introducing new
themes in welfare economics and social choice theory
* Features four sections: Foundations, Developments of the Basic
Arrovian Schemes, Fairness and Rights, and Voting and Manipulation
* Appeals to readers who seek introductions to writings on human
well-being and collective decision-making

functions to important variations on basic schemes
