Mariotti, Marco; Veneziani, Roberto ‘Non-interference’ implies equality. (English) Zbl 1184.91087 Soc. Choice Welfare 32, No. 1, 123-128 (2009). Summary: We propose a new principle of “non-interference” applied to social welfare orderings. The principle, together with two other standard requirements, implies a strong egalitarian conclusion: the ordering must lexicographically maximize the welfare of the worst off.
