Studying Arrow's work encouraged me to think about the complexities of aggregating preferences. I look forward to reading more of his other work. With economics there is more than meets the eye.
- sevensor 10y agoReading Arrow is one of the things that warmed me up to the European School (Roy et al). Try to avoid policies that create big losers, instead of trying to optimize a national utility function. It's also really interesting that in the 1970s the Soviets were trying to do the latter -- it's one of the things they wanted to do with their crazy mirror-universe arpanet.
