Abstract
This chapter is directed at policy-makers of all
kinds—both in government and in NGOs. We
assume, like Thomas Jefferson, that “the care of
human life and happiness … is the only legitimate
object of good government.”1 And we
assume that NGOs would have similar objectives.
In other words, all policy-makers want to create
the conditions for the greatest possible happiness
in the population and, especially, the least
possible misery.
