Modular social welfare functions:
• emerge naturally when disentangling time and inequality;
• transparently capture normative choices;
• include almost all existing criteria;
• uncover new, tractable families of alternative criteria.
NB: Our results also hold for individual preferences!

We introduce and axiomatically characterize "modular" social welfare functions, uniquely identified by:
• A time-discounting function (reflecting attitudes toward time); and
• An aggregator function (capturing attitudes toward inequality).
• A time-discounting function (reflecting attitudes toward time); and
• An aggregator function (capturing attitudes toward inequality).

How to evaluate policies affecting future generations?
Time and inequality attitudes are essential.
By disentangling these attitudes, we better understand tradeoffs and unveil plenty of tractable criteria.
