The first approach Sandel presents is Maximizing Welfare. “Much contemporary political debate is about how to promote prosperity‚ or improve our standard of living‚ or spur economic growth.” Maximizing welfare is individualistic; most people are wired to want what is best for them- and sometimes others because they believe “prosperity makes us better off than we would otherwise be”.
