‘Non-interference’ implies equality

Marco Mariotti, R Veneziani

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

We propose a new principle of 'non-interference' applied to social welfare orderings. The principle, together with two other standard requirements, implies a strong egalitarian conclusion: the ordering must lexicographically maximize the welfare of the worst off.
