This book is about preferences, principally as they figure in economics. It clarifies and for the most part defends the way in which economists invoke preferences to explain, predict and assess behavior and outcomes, although it criticizes attempts to define welfare in terms of preferences and to define preferences in terms of choices or self-interest.
