Abstract
Arrow’s theorem, based on Condorcet’s ingenious intuition, is only a first important step towards a General Mathematical Theory of Social Structures. Yet, the understanding that has been made possible by this fundamental step forward has had a great impact on our understanding of a myriad of social and ethological phenomena. The present work has the ambition to bring to a wider audience not only the fundamental ideas of the theorem but also to describe its most important implications in applications.
