The author, María Gloria Martín Antón, starts from the premise that we are social beings whose individual choices have collective consequences. Contrasting with the classical view of economics, which focuses on selfishness and self-interest, this work explores the complex space where personal decisions intertwine with socialization processes and group membership. An essential read for understanding the foundations of social choice and its impact on economics and ethics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work delves into Social Choice Theory, a discipline that analyzes how individual preferences are aggregated to form a collective decision. The author contrasts this theory with classical Economics, which assumes a rational and selfish individual who maximizes their benefit in the market. Through a clear and pedagogical exposition, the book demonstrates that our personal identity is forged in interaction with multiple groups and collectives, which conditions our decisions. Thus, it is revealed that the space of self-interest and selfishness is, in reality, an ideal world, while social reality is much more complex, where individual decisions generate inevitable group consequences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain topics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eFoundations of Social Choice Theory and its relationship with moral philosophy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe contrast between the selfish rationality of classical economics and social rationality.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eProcesses of socialization and the formation of personal identity through groups and collectives.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAnalysis of group consequences derived from individual decisions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eEthical debate on the limits of self-interest in collective decision-making.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at students and professionals of philosophy, economics, political science, and sociology looking for a clear and rigorous introduction to social choice theory.
