Talk:Welfarism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This may belong on both list of ethics topics and list of economics topics. Would suggest that the author review the following to include how they relate: social welfare function, welfare economics, Amartya Sen, human development, human development theory, human capital.
[edit] Bad definition
It does not explain what is welfarism. It just goes around the subject.
Welfarism is not a form of consequentialism. It is an axiological theory. Roughly speaking, welfarism + consequentialism = utilitarianism. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.160.30.91 (talk) 14:26, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
