John Broome (born 1947) is a British philosopher and economist.
In 2007 Broome was elected a Foreign Member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.
Broome argues that these dimensions are linked by what he calls the interpersonal addition theorem, which supports the utilitarian principle of distribution.
In his book Weighing Lives (2004), Broome rejects the presumed intuition that adding people to the population is ethically neutral.
In his collection of papers, titled Ethics out of Economics (1999), he discusses topics such as value, equality, fairness, and utility.
