About this book
Reviews
“I strongly recommend this book to mathematicians along with social scientists, who want to do research in common domain of democracy, social choice theory, voting theory, and mathematics.” (Santanu Acharjee, zbMATH 1511.91001, 2023)
“It is a product of profound, multi-disciplinary scholarship that will no doubt benefit many a cohort of future students and instructors of welfare economics, economic policy, political science, constitutional law and political philosophy.” (Hannu Nurmi, Journal of Economics, Vol. 130, 2020)
