Likewise, parties to a dispute often find themselves unable to agree on a fair division of contested goods. In Mathematics and Democracy, Steven Brams, a leading authority in the use of mathematics to design decision-making processes, shows how social-choice and game theory could make political and social institutions more democratic. Using mathematical analysis, he develops rigorous new procedures that enable voters to better express themselves and that allow disputants to divide goods more fairly. One of the procedures that Brams proposes is "approval voting," which allows voters to vote for as many candidates as they like or consider acceptable. There is no ranking, and the candidate with the most votes wins. The voter no longer has to consider whether a vote for a preferred but less popular candidate might be wasted. In the same vein, Brams puts forward new, more equitable procedures for resolving disputes over divisible and indivisible goods. 606 $aFinance, Public$xMathematical models 606 $aElections$xMathematical models 606 $aVoting$xMathematical models 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aFinance, Public$xMathematical models. 615 0$aElections$xMathematical models. 615 0$aVoting$xMathematical models. 676 $a324.601513 700 $aBrams$b Steven J., $045246 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456828903321 996 $aMathematics and Democracy$92466429 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01164nam a2200289 i 4500 001 991002186599707536 005 20020503162109.0 008 931203s1987 va ||| | lat 020 $a8821006123 035 $ab10328592-39ule_inst 035 $aEXGIL99049$9ExL 040 $aBiblioteca Interfacoltà$bita 082 04$a018.131 110 2 $aBiblioteca Apostolica Vaticana$0198706 245 10$aCodices vaticani latini :$bCodices 2060-2117 /$cRecensuit Claudius Leonardi...; indicibus instruxerunt Ambrosius M.
