-
and so we don't like the allocation,
-
and so maybe we should move something from A to B.
-
So that's an argument on the basis of justice.
-
It says we can find juster allocations
-
that are somehow socially more desirable,
-
but this argument of Pareto efficiency is about efficiency.
-
Maybe you could hurt A to help B
-
because that serves your desire for fairness,
-
but that doesn't say anything about how efficient the allocation is.
-
It's still true that the original allocation was
-
efficient in the sense you couldn't make anyone better off.

So the economists would say in order to hurt A and help B what
