Title: Arrow's theorem, Weglorz' models and the axiom of choice
Abstract: Applying Weglorz' models of set theory without the axiom of choice, we investigate Arrow-type social welfare functions for infinite societies with restricted coalition algebras. We show that there is a reasonable, nondictatorial social welfare function satisfying finite discrimination, if and only if in Weglorz' model there is a free ultrafilter on a set representing the individuals.
