UtilitarianEconomics

Edit

utilitarian economics, understood as a policy science that attempts to implement a Benthamism or a Millianianism that seeks the greatest good of the greatest number, starting from the twin presumptions that (a) everyone should count for one, as nobody is especially “deserving”, and that (b) there is sharply declining marginal utility of wealth.
