Has the invention of the concept of utilitarianism had any significant consequences for the world? If you look at history - events, trends, culture - what are the biggest things of which one can say, that only happened because the idea "utilitarianism" existed, it wouldn't have happened otherwise?
Utilitarianism as distinct from consequentialism in general? (Can you narrow down exactly what idea you're asking about?)
The real question is broader - which ideas make a difference, and why.
