is there something like "complex-systems criticism of utilitarianism"? I want to counter reductionist thinking of the form "we should put all our money into buying more malaria nets rather than justice reform because malaria nets save more lives per dollar".
I hadn't heard of consequentialism before, but I would be broadly supportive of that sort of analysis. It gets problematic when an unequal burden lands on one group in the short ("predictable") term for a greater benefit in the long ("speculative") term.
