 The critique of cost-benefit analysis described in section 5.2.1 was directed against cost-benefit analysis, a specific and concrete form of welfarism developed to implement the more abstract evaluative ideas underlying welfarism. Objections to this specific instantiation of welfarism do not necessarily run against the more general class of evaluative criteria. Similarly, the critique described in section 5.2.2 focused on the institutional structure of adjudication; though this structure may be hostile to an implementation of a welfarist theory of adjudication, it has no bearing on the appropriate criteria against which a third party should assess legal rules and institutions.
