The Pareto Principle: Another View

Warren Samuels

Chapter 18 in Essays on the Methodology and Discourse of Economics, 1992, pp 298-310 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract I very much appreciate the opportunity to respond to Jürgen Backhaus’s clever effort to bolster the Pareto principle as the fundamental concept of welfare economics and to finesse its major critiques without doing them complete justice. I find that while I agree, inevitably, with some of what he writes, I disagree with much.
