For more than two centuries, bad news and negative assertions expressed in innumerable voting paradoxes and theorems have asserted the impossibility of doing what seems to be natural in voting and decision rules. This book provides a positive take on the area.
We decide by elections, but do we elect who the voters really want? The answer, as we have learned over the last two centuries, is ''not necessarily''. What a negative, frightening assertion about a principal tool of democracy! This negativism has been supported by two hundred years of published results showing how bad the situation can be. This expository, largely non-technical book is the first to find positive results showing that the situation is not anywhere as dire and negative as we have been led to believe. Instead there are surprisingly simple explanations for the negative assertions, and positive conclusions can be obtained.
