520    Collective decision-making is a familiar feature of our 
       social, political, and economic lives. It ranges from the 
       relatively trivial (e.g. the choice of the next family 
       car) to the globally significant (e.g. whether or not a 
       country should go to war). Yet, whether trivial or 
       globally significant, such decisions involve a number of 
       challenging problems. These problems arise in the standard
       social choice setting, where individuals differ in their 
       preferences. They also arise in the standard decision-
       making setting, where individuals share the same 
       preferences, but differ in their decisional capabilities. 
       The distinctive feature of Collective Preference and 
       Choice is that it looks at classical aggregation problems 
       that arise in three closely related areas: social choice 
       theory, voting theory, and group decision-making under 
       uncertainty. Using a series of exercises and examples, the
       book explains these problems with reference to a number of
       important contributions to the study of collective 
       decision-making.
