Kenneth Arrow
Sull'autore
Kenneth Arrow was an influential American economist and a Nobel laureate who made significant contributions to the fields of general equilibrium theory and welfare economics. He is best known for Arrow's Impossibility Theorem, which demonstrated that no rank-order voting system can satisfy a set of fair criteria, fundamentally shaping the discourse on social choice theory. His work laid the groundwork for understanding how individual preferences can be aggregated into collective decision-making, a key concept in economics and political science.
