Haves and Have-Nots: A Theory of Economic Sufficientarianism
AI总结:
本文提出经济充足主义的推广理论,引入充足主义判断这一新伦理概念,并证明其与对称性、可分性等价,且与词典式最小原则密切相关。
摘要:
我们引入充足主义概念的一种推广,旨在对涉及多种消费品的配置进行排序。在对一个固定主体社会的商品配置进行排序时,充足主义主张根据被认为消费充足的个体数量来比较配置。我们的分析基于一个新的伦理概念,我们称之为充足主义判断。充足主义判断断言:如果从一个所有主体具有相同消费的配置出发,某一主体消费的变化损害了社会,那么任何其他主体消费的任何变化随后都不能使社会受益。我们证明充足主义等价于充足主义判断、对称性和可分性。我们在抽象环境以及具体经济环境中考察了我们的公理。最后,我们形式化地论证充足主义判断与词典式最小原则密切相关。
英文摘要:
We introduce a generalization of the concept of sufficientarianism, intended to rank allocations involving multiple consumption goods. In ranking allocations of goods for a fixed society of agents, sufficientarianism posits that allocations are compared according to the number of individuals whose consumption is deemed sufficient. We base our analysis on a novel ethical concept, which we term sufficientarian judgment. Sufficientarian judgment asserts that if in starting from an allocation in which all agents have identical consumption, a change in one agent's consumption hurts society, then there is no change in any other agent's consumption which could subsequently benefit society. Sufficientarianism is shown to be equivalent to sufficientarian judgment, symmetry, and separability. We investigate our axioms in an abstract environment, and in specific economic environments. Finally, we argue formally that sufficientarian judgment is closely related to the leximin principle.
