The centuries-old paradox of voting is that majorities sometimes prefer x to y, y to z, and z to x - a cycle. This book is about the numerous and diverse sources and consequences of cycles, under majority rule and countless other regimes. Their discovery constitutes much of the mathematical theory of voting and social choice.
