Arrow's Impossibility Theorem

The video explores different voting systems and their impact on election results, highlighting Arrow's impossibility theorem, which states that no ranked voting system can satisfy all desirable properties. It discusses properties like unanimity and independence of irrelevant alternatives, and outlines a proof showing that only a dictatorship can meet these criteria. The video concludes with real-world implications and viewer comments.
