For J. N. Keynes economic enquiries should be classified into three different departments. The first one Social welfare functions and development measurement and policy applications refers to the positive science of political economy and aims at establishing economic uniformities.

The Economics of Welfare, by writing that “when a man sets out any course of inquiry, the object of his research may be either light or fruit—either knowledge for its own sake or knowledge for the sake of good things to which it leads." Referring afterwards to economics Pigou adds that Social welfare functions and development measurement and policy applications“...It is open to US to construct an economic science either of the pure type represented by pure mathematics or of the realistic type represented bySocial welfare functions and development measurement and policy applications

Following Pigou's terminology I would call it a book on realistic economics. The authors do not hide the fact that their approach is normative. They clearly state that “policies have heterogeneous effects on individuals. That is. from a public policy perspective, some individuals m Social welfare functions and development measurement and policy applicationsight lose while others might gain from a policy. In any evaluation, normative judgments cannot be avoided and social welfare functions explicitly specSocial welfare functions and development measurement and policy applications

Their starting point is clearly Sen’s concept of capabilities. Kakwani and Son however note that the literature did not hitherto deal with the issue of aggregating individual capabilities.
