| Consequentialism - Economics Dictionary of Arguments | |||
| Consequentialism is an ethical theory that judges the rightness or wrongness of actions based solely on their outcomes or consequences. The core idea is that the moral value of an action is determined by its overall impact, with the guiding principle being to choose actions that lead to the best overall results or the greatest good for the greatest number. | |||
