		John Latsis, the Greek billionaire who has died in Athens aged 92, built up from scratch a business empire that spanned shipping, banking, oil refineries and construction; precisely how he did so remains somewhat unclear, but the goodwill he earned in the Arab world appears to have been crucial.
		John Latsis was born on September 14 1910 at Katakolo Ilias, a fishing village near Pyrgos in the Peloponnese.
		John Latsis, who died yesterday, is survived by his wife Erietta (nee Tsoukala) and by their son and two daughters.

	Philosophy of Economics
		Mill takes it for granted that individuals act rationally in their pursuit of wealth and luxury and avoidance of labor, rather than in a disjointed or erratic way, but since he does not have a theory of consumption, he develops no explicit theory of rational economic choice.
		John Broome (1991) argues that further substantive principles of rationality are required to limit how alternatives are individuated or to require that agents be indifferent between alternatives such as “X when the alternative is Y” and “X when the alternative is Z."
		For example, John Harsanyi proved that if individual preferences and social evaluations both satisfy the axioms of expected utility theory (with shared or objective probabilities) and a stronger unanimity condition is imposed, then social evaluations are determined by a weighted sum of individual utilities (1955, 1977a).
