Sen's contribution to the literature was to show under what conditions Arrow's impossibility theorem[14] applied, as well as to extend and enrich the theory of social choice, informed by his interests in history of economic thought and philosophy. ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-9766.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-9766.txt
