The Maximin Principle Is Influential Among Philosophers but Less So

The maximin principle is influential among philosophers but less so among economists because economists contend that:

A) a little bit less income for the worst-off might be acceptable if it comes with a big enough gain to others.
B) lower average income might be acceptable if income is more equally divided.
C) higher average income is always better.
D) a larger income inequality may be acceptable if the worst-off are less productive.
