Abstract: Abstract Most principles of social choice would uphold the virtues of both efficiency and equality, as they would the virtues of both liberty and equality. But just as efficiency and equality could turn out to be mutually incompatible, we find—drawing on the work of Amartya Sen and Peter Hammond—that liberty and equality could also conflict with each other. This chapter considers the nature of this conflict and explores how it might be addressed.
