Abstract

Abstract The good of those who are worse off matters more to the overall good than the good of those who are better off does. But being worse off than one’s fellows is not itself bad; nor is inequality itself bad; nor do differences in well-being matter more when well-being is lower in an absolute sense. Instead, the good of the relatively worse-off weighs more heavily in the overall good than the good of the relatively better-off does, in virtue of the fact that the former are relatively worse off. This paper articulates and defends the view just described.

摘要穷人的利益比富人的利益对整体利益更重要。但是，比别人更穷本身并不是坏事；不平等本身也不是坏事；当幸福感在绝对意义上较低时，幸福感的差异也不重要。相反，由于前者的境况相对较差，相对较差者的利益在整体利益中的分量比相对较好者的利益更大。本文阐述并捍卫了刚才描述的观点。

期刊介绍： The disciplines of economics and philosophy each possess their own special analytical methods, whose combination is powerful and fruitful. Each discipline can be enriched by the other. Economics and Philosophy aims to promote their mutual enrichment by publishing articles and book reviews in all areas linking these subjects. Topics include the methodology and epistemology of economics, the foundations of decision theory and game theory, the nature of rational choice in general, historical work on economics with a philosophical purpose, ethical issues in economics, the use of economic techniques in ethical theory, and many other subjects.
