Arrow's Theorem: The Paradox of Social Choice: A Case Study in the Philosophy of Economics
The book examines Kenneth Arrow's Impossibility Theorem, which mathematically proves that no ranked-choice voting system can convert individual preferences into a collective social ranking without violating at least one of several "fair" conditions. MacKay, a philosophy professor, treats the theorem as an intellectual puzzle, using analytical philosophy to scrutinize its implications for democratic theory.
