The general assumption that social policy should
be utilitarian
—
that society should be organized
to yield the greatest level of welfare
—
leads in¬
exorably to increased government interventions.
Historically, however, the science of economics
has advocated limits to these interventions for
utilitarian reasons and because of the assump¬
tion that people know what is best for them¬
selves. But more recently, behavioral economics
has focused on biases and inconsistencies in
individual behavior. Based on these develop¬
ments, governments now prescribe the foods
we eat, the apartments we rent, and the com¬
position of our financial portfolios. The Tyranny
of Utility takes on this rise of paternalism and its
dangers for individual freedoms, and examines
how developments in economics and the social
sciences are leading to greater government
intrusion in our private lives.
Gilles
Saint-Paul posits that the utilitarian
foundations of individual freedom promoted by
traditional economics are fundamentally flawed.
When combined with developments in social
science that view the individual as incapable of
making rational and responsible choices, utili¬
tarianism seems to logically call for greater gov¬
ernmental intervention in our lives. Arguing that
this cannot be defended on purely instrumental
grounds, Saint-Paul calls for individual liberty to
be restored as a central value in our society.
Exploring how behavioral economics is
contributing to the excessive rise of paternalistic
interventions. The Tyranny of Utility presents a
controversial challenge to the prevailing cur¬
rents in economic and political discourse.
Gilles
Saint-Paul is professor of economics at the
Toulouse School of Economics. His books include
Innovation and Inequality (Princeton).
