This book focuses on the causes of starvation in general and famines in particular. The traditional analysis of famines is shown to be fundamentally defective, and the author develops an alternative analysis.
Amartya Sen, CH (Bengali: অমর্ত্য সেন, translit. Ômorto Shen; born 3 November 1933) is an Indian Bengali economist who was awarded the 1998 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for his contributions to welfare economics and social choice theory, and for his interest in the problems of society's poorest members. Sen is best known for his work on the causes of famine, which led to the development of practical solutions for preventing or limiting the effects of real or perceived shortages of food. He helped to create the United Nations Human Development Index. In 2012, he became the first non-American recipient of the National Humanities Medal.
He is currently the Thomas W. Lamont University Professor and Professor of Economics and Philosophy at Harvard University. He is also a senior fellow at the Harvard Society of Fellows, distinguished fellow of All Souls College, Oxford and a Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, where he previously served as Master from 1998 to 2004. He is the first Indian and the first Asian academic to head an Oxbridge college. He also serves as the first Chancellor of the proposed Nalanda International University.
Amartya Sen's books have been translated into more than thirty languages over a period of forty years. He is a trustee of Economists for Peace and Security. In 2006, Time magazine listed him under "60 years of Asian Heroes" and in 2010 included him in their "100 most influential persons in the world".New Statesman listed him in their 2010 edition of "World's 50 Most Influential People Who Matter".

评分申强调的真的是权利和资源的可及性问题,但是权利(或者他所用的entitlement)具体在社会中的运作特征,申却并没有给出清晰的科学描述。虽然申自己说:“含糊描述并不等同于规范描述,但当我们在许可的常规方法和最低生活标准之间选择,随意性难以避免”,但是申不能简单的推脱...
评分这本书非常适合放在当前的疫情背景下来读——从小的方面说,有医疗物资的缺乏;从大的方面说,有生命安全保障的缺乏。那么用这本书的提问方式:这真的是因为物品不够吗?还是因为权利的缺失?进一步的(按照这本书的分析路数),谁会在灾难里(因为权利缺失)承受更大的伤害? ...
评分在看《贫困与饥荒》的第一、第二章的时候,深深感到之前被遗忘的数学和经济学基础不够用。 阿马蒂亚森先生在这本并不厚的书中,用经济学的方式解构了许多关于贫困的概念(第一、二章)、解释了如何识别贫困、饥饿、饥荒等(第三、四、五章)。之后的内容就是用严谨而又细致的笔...
