Ioffe's normal cone and the foundations of welfare economics: The infinite dimensional theory

Abstract We establish the relevance of Ioffe's normal cone for basic theorems of welfare economics in the context of a commodity space formalized as a vactor lattice and endowed with a locally convex linear topology in which the positive cone is closed.
