    To illustrate the conflict between minimal liberalism and the weak Pareto principle, Sen asked us to imagine a society that consists of two individuals, Lewd and Prude, faced with the decision of who among them (if any) should read a controversial book, Lady Chatterley’s Lover. In Sen’s story, Lewd most prefers that Prude read the book (alternative \(x)\), second-most prefers that he (Lewd) read the book himself (alternative \(y)\), and least prefers that neither of the two read the book \((z)\)
