Abstract
A preliminary point first. John Harsanyi’s (1977) rejoinder is concerned exclusively with a relatively small part of my lecture (1977), viz., that dealing with Harsanyi’s critique of non-linear social welfare functions. All the formal results, e.g., (T.1) – (T.4), and much of the informal discussion in my lecture were concerned with other issues. While I find Harsanyi’s critique of non-linear social welfare functions interesting and important, and welcome this opportunity of discussing further why I disagree with him, I would certainly like to avoid generating the impression that Harsanyi and I are battling on the main substance of my lecture.
