Little apparently agreed with Arrow that there might be a different social ordering were people’s tastes different, but unlike Arrow he thought that it wouldn’t have to be similar to the actual or current ordering in any special way. Little’s objection was taken to support the “single profile” approach to social welfare judgments of Abram Bergson (1938) and Paul Samuelson (1947), and there was a debate about which approach was best, theirs or Arrow’s.  Arguably, what was at issue in this debate was not—or should not have been—whether aggregation procedures must handle more than a single preference profile, but instead whether there should be any coordination of the output at different profiles. Among others Sen (1977) and Fleurbaey and Mongin (2005) have made this point. If they are right then the substance of Little’s objection can be accommodated within Arrow’s multi-profile framework simply by not imposing any interprofile constraints. Be this as it may, Arrow’s framework is nowadays the dominant one.
