According to Parato's theory, if reform in an economic society can enable everyone to do better, or some to become better while nobody becomes worse, thus increasing the welfare of the entire society, then the reform or change will be regarded as the most efficient. His theory has become a theoretical basis for subsequent studies of the relationship between taxation and economy.
