本文探讨了在福利经济学和社会选择理论中具有重要意义的选择自由概念。三个似是而非的公理介绍了排名的替代机会集的自由度，他们提供给代理人作出选择。它表明，根据这些公理，判断自由度的选择必须基于简单地计算可用选项的数量的天真的原则。
The paper explores the notion of freedom of choice which is of considerable importance in welfare economics and the theory of social choice. Three plausible axioms are introduced for ranking alternative opportunity sets in terms of the degrees of freedom that they offer to the agent making choices. It is shown that, under these axioms, judgements about degrees of freedom of choice have to be based on the naive principle of simply counting the number of available options.
