Prioritarianism is an ethical theory that gives extra weight to the
well-being of the worse off. In contrast, dominant
policy-evaluation methodologies, such as benefit-cost analysis,
cost-effectiveness analysis, and utilitarianism, ignore or downplay
issues of fair distribution. Based on a research group founded by
the editors, this important book is the first to show how
prioritarianism can be used to assess governmental policies and
evaluate societal conditions. This book uses prioritarianism as a
methodology to evaluate governmental policy across a variety of
policy domains: taxation, health policy, risk regulation,
education, climate policy, and the COVID-19 pandemic. It is also
the first to demonstrate how prioritarianism improves on GDP as an
indicator of a society's progress over time. Edited by two senior
figures in the field with contributions from some of the world's
leading economists, this volume bridges the gap from the theory of
prioritarianism to its practical application.
