This article describes the evolution of Edgeworth’s thought on women’s wages and on the principle of “equal pay for equal work.” We first document Edgeworth’s early works on “exact utilitarianism” as an epistemic basis for his reflections upon women’s wages. Second, we review his first writings on women’s work and wages: early mentions in the 1870s, his book reviews published in the Economic Journal, and the substantial preface he wrote for the British Association for the Advancement of Science 1904 report on Women in Printing Trades. Third, we document his 1922 British Association presidential address in relation to the burgeoning literature on women’s work and wages within political economy at the time. Finally, we show that his 1923 follow-up article on women’s wages and economic welfare constitutes an update of his “aristocratical utilitarianism” in the post–World War I context.

“…In particular, they stress the conflicts which exist between Mill's adherence to the liberal doctrine and his fight for the emancipation of women (Okin 1979;Pujol 1992;Caine 1994;Sigot and Beaurain 2009). Though Mill is recognised as one of the economists most involved in the women's cause, some contemporary commentators indicate serious limits to his feminism.…”

“…75 Por su parte, Richard Krouse nos explica que: "Human happiness lies not in the simple aggregation of pleasure but, rather, has certain specific requirements: above all, autonomy or self-determination and development and exercise of our specifically human faculties of intelligence and sociality. These 'higher' pleasures form are our most vital interests as creatures of elevated falculties".…”

La importancia de la felicidad y su oportuna vinculación con la justicia han sido puestas de manifiesto desde el pensamiento filosófico clásico griego. Sin embargo, recientemente puede apreciarse claramente el creciente protagonismo y la inusitada actualidad que ha alcanzado el tema de la búsqueda de la felicidad en el discurso político, lo que obliga a meditar sobre ella como principio rector o directriz orientadora del Estado Social, y a saber detectar su presencia — explícita o implícita— en los textos constitucionales. Solo en una sociedad democrática, y desde el desarrollo efectivo de los derechos fundamentales y de los derechos sociales, particularmente, será posible alcanzar una vida digna, y a partir de ahí obtener el basamento adecuado para la búsqueda de la felicidad. La felicidad, pues, no es solo un objetivo individual, es también un asunto público que ha de venir propiciado desde el propio Estado, en cuanto que desde los poderes públicos pueden establecerse las bases adecuadas para su consecución. En la CE de 1978 podemos encontrar preceptos para entender implícitamente incluida la felicidad como directriz orientadora del Estado en sus políticas públicas, y poder sostener así la presencia de una teoría eudemonista en nuestro Estado social. Percibir la existencia de una notable preocupación por la felicidad de los ciudadanos en el desarrollo de las políticas públicas actuales supone, en cualquier caso, un afortunado retorno hacia el ámbito de lo humano, una nueva oportunidad para preocuparnos por el ser persona.
