Abstract
In the simplest variant of the model of collective decision making in the stochastic environment, the participants were segregated into egoists and a group of collectivists. “Proposal of the environment” is the stochastically generated vector of algebraic increments of capitals. The social dynamics was defined by the sequence of proposals accepted by threshold-majority voting. Analytical expressions of the expected values of the capitals of participants, collectivists and egoists were obtained. Distinctions of some principles of group voting were discussed.
