This paper is composed of two sections. Section 1 contains a purely theoretical comparison between GHP and EIP. It shows that these two principles are not equivalent and that subscribing to GHP may imply higher sacrifices of individual happiness than those prescribed by EIP. Section 2 examines Say’s arguments about the correspondence between general utility and individual EI and compares them with Bentham’s analysis of the connection between the principle of utility and individual motives.

Abstract
This paper is composed of two sections. Section 1 contains a purely theoretical comparison between GHP and EIP. It shows that these two principles are not equivalent and that subscribing to GHP may imply higher sacrifices of individual happiness than those prescribed by EIP. Section 2 examines Say’s arguments about the correspondence between general utility and individual EI and compares them with Bentham’s analysis of the connection between the principle of utility and individual motives.File in questo prodotto:
