Rare First Edition of Collective Choice And Social Welfare; Inscribed by Nobel Prize-Winning Economist Amartya Sen
First edition of the Sen's landmark work. Octavo, original cloth. Inscribed by Amartya Sen to fellow economist J.C.R. Rowley on the title page. Near fine in a very good dust jacket.
Originally published in 1970, this classic study has been recognized for its groundbreaking role in integrating economics and ethics, and for its influence in opening up new areas of research in social choice, including aggregative assessment. It has also had a large influence on international organizations, including the United Nations, notably in its work on human development. The book showed that the “impossibility theorems” in social choice theory―led by the pioneering work of Kenneth Arrow―do not negate the possibility of reasoned and democratic social choice.
