Description

Prioritarianism in Practice offers a deep look into an ethical theory that prioritizes the well-being of those who are worse off. While many standard policy-evaluation methods like utilitarianism or cost-benefit analysis often overlook fair distribution, this book provides a different approach. It addresses the gaps left by traditional methodologies by focusing on how social welfare impacts different segments of society. Developed by a dedicated research group, this work serves as a practical guide for applying prioritarianism to real-world scenarios. It is the first text to demonstrate how this specific ethical framework can be used as a methodology to assess governmental policies and evaluate various societal conditions. Whether you are studying economic policy or looking for new ways to evaluate social welfare, this book provides the necessary tools to understand how to weigh the needs of the disadvantaged in policy decisions.
