So these are some of the controversies that arise these days from cost-benefit analysis especially those that involve placing a dollar value on everything to be added up. well now I want to turn to your objections, to your objections not necessarily to cost benefit analysis specifically, because that's just one version of the utilitarian logic in practice today, but to the theory as a whole, to the idea that the right thing to do, the just basis for policy and law, is to maximize utility.
