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 686 $a89.57$2bcl 700 $aBrams$b Steven J., $045246 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781072403321 996 $aMathematics and Democracy$93740691 997 $aUNINA
