Paradoxical Results from Inada's Conditions for Majority Rule.

Abstract

The conclusion of this paper however paradoxical is simple: Arrow-Black's and Inada's conditions on triples do not allow more diversity individual orders than the more restrictive looking Black's condition with a reference order. If one considers that the culture imposes one of these conditions to the individual, and that a measure of his freedom consists in the number of different opinions he is allowed to have (in order to have the right to vote), no more is offered by the conditions on triples only.
