Is GDP a good proxy for social welfare? Building on economic theory, this book confirms that it is not, but also that most alternatives to it share its basic flaw, i.e., a focus on specific aspects of people's lives without sufficiently taking account of people's values and goals. A better approach is possible.

This volume presents interviews that have been conducted from the 1980s to the present with important scholars of social choice and welfare theory. Starting with a brief history of social choice and welfare theory written by the book editors, it features 15 conversations with four Nobel Laureates and other key scholars in the discipline. The volume is divided into two parts. The first part presents four conversations with the founding fathers of modern social choice and welfare theory: Kenneth Arrow, John Harsanyi, Paul Samuelson, and Amartya Sen. The second part includes conversations with scholars who made important contributions to the discipline from the early 1970s onwards. This book will appeal to anyone interested in the history of economics, and the history of social choice and welfare theory in particular.

This collection of thirteen essays on social ethics and normative economics honouring Serge-Christophe Kolm's seminal contributions to this field addresses the following questions: How should the public sector price its production and services? What are the normative foundations of criteria for comparing distributions of riches and advantages? How should intergenerational social immobility and inequality in circumstances be measured? What is a fair way to form partnerships? How vulnerable to manipulation is the Lindahl rule for allocating public goods? What are the properties of Kolm's ELIE tax proposal? Would the addition of EU-level income taxes enhance equity? How should we compare different scenarios for future societies with different population sizes? How can domain conditions in social choice theory be justified using Kolm's epistemic counterfactuals? How can Kolm's distributive liberal contract be implemented? What are the implications of norms of reciprocity for the organization of society? The answers to these questions give major insight into the state-of-the-art of social ethics and normative economics and are thus an indispensable source for researchers in both of these fields.

Philosophie, sociologie, anthropologie, études littéraires, linguistique, histoire, géographie, psychologie, musicologie, esthétique, histoire de l’art, économie, sciences politiques, droit, archéologie… : les disciplines couvertes par les sciences humaines et sociales sont vastes et variées. À toutes incombent d’analyser, comprendre, décrire le monde et la façon dont les hommes, les femmes et plus largement le vivant l’ont habité, l’habitent et l’habiteront. Toutes partagent une réflexion sur un sujet rendu majeur par la crise environnementale, les bouleversements numériques, les inégalités sociales et les conflits : comment faire « monde commun », pour reprendre la formule de Hannah Arendt ? L’ouvrage propose une centaine de contributions portant sur des questions contemporaines, qui font écho aux objectifs de développement durable identifiés par l’Organisation des Nations unies (la réduction de la pauvreté, des inégalités éducatives, la protection de la planète, etc.) et explorent la manière dont la recherche actuelle en sciences humaines et sociales y répond. Méthodes, hypothèses et théorisations, mesures et approches ethnographiques, analyses et exégèses constituent autant d’outils permettant aux lecteurs de penser, d’habiter, de réparer ou de transformer nos univers communs. Un ouvrage richement illustré qui incarne une communauté de recherche dans toute sa diversité.
