Preference, Value, Choice, and Welfare Again: In Preference, Value, Choice, and Welfare (2012), I argued, among other things, that preferences in economics are and ought to be total subjective comparative evaluations, that the theory of rational choice is a reformulation of everyday folk-psychological explanations and predictions of behavior, and that revealed preference theory is completely untenable. All three of these theses have been challenged in essays by Erik Angner (2018), Francesco Guala (2019), and Johanna Thoma (2021a, b). This essay responds to these criticisms and defends these three theses.
