In this paper, we consider and formulate, in cooperative production economies, a social procedure for choosing fair allocation rules, basing it upon the argument of the Rawlsian two principles of justice (Rawls (1971)). First, we adopt Sen's Capability (Sen (1980, 1985)) index to evaluate...

This paper discusses and develops "non-welfaristic" arguments on distributive justice, mainly basing upon J. Rawls and A.K. Sen, and formalizes, in cooperative production economies, "non-welfaristic" distribution rules as game forms. First, it conceptualizes Needs Principle that the distribution...

The rationalizability of a choice function by means of a transitive relation has been analyzed thoroughly in the literature. However, not much seems to be known when transitivity is weakened to quasi-transitivity or acyclicity. We describe the logical relationship between the different notions...

This chapter reviews the SWFL approach to social choice. It does not attempt to be a complete and systematic survey of existing results, but to give a critical assesment of the main axioms and their role in filtering the ethically relevant information, in particular the measurability and...

Given a set of outcomes that affect the welfare of the members of a group, K.J. Arrow imposed the following five conditions on the ordering of the outcomes as a function of the preferences of the individual group members, and then proved that the conditions are logically inconsistent:- The...
