In Development as Freedom Amartya Sen explains how in a world of unprecedented increase in overall opulence millions of people living in the Third World are still unfree. Even if they are not technically slaves, they are denied elementary freedoms and remain imprisoned in one way or another by economic poverty, social deprivation, political tyranny or cultural authoritarianism. The main purpose of development is to spread freedom and its 'thousand charms' to the unfree citizens. Freedom, Sen persuasively argues, is at once the ultimate goal of social and economic arrangements and the most efficient means of realizing general welfare. Social institutions like markets, political parties, legislatures, the judiciary, and the media contribute to development by enhancing individual freedom and are in turn sustained by social values. Values, institutions, development, and freedom are all closely interrelated, and Sen links them together in an elegant analytical framework. By asking 'What is the relation between our collective economic wealth and our individual ability to live as we would like?' and by incorporating individual freedom as a social commitment into his analysis Sen allows economics once again, as it did in the time of Adam Smith, to address the social basis of individual well-being and freedom.
Amartya Sen is the Master of Trinity College, Cambridge, and the winner of the 1998 Nobel Prize in Economic Science. He has been President of the Indian Economic Association, the American Economic Association, the International Economic Association and the Econometric Society. He has taught at Calcutta, Delhi, Oxford, Cambridge, the London School of Economics, and Harvard.
阿马蒂亚·森在《以自由看待发展》一书中提出一种特别的发展观,即:自由是发展的首要目的和不可缺少的重要手段,因而对自由这一内涵丰富且饱受争议的概念提供了一种新的理解:“(自由)应该是一个人选择有理由珍视的生活的实质自由——即可行能力。”[[1]]森提出的发展观是否...
评分通过此书,我改变了许多关其中于经济学死板的想法。其中最深刻的当属经济发展与自由民主之间的关系。 当初新加坡高速发展时,确实是摈弃了民主,由“国父”李光耀一人“力挽狂澜”,将新加坡带上了发展的高速列车,这也一直被视为中国发展中应该效仿的典范。但是作者...

评分很久以前看过这本书,囫囵吞枣,根本没抓到要点。近来想把自己读过的书再重新过一遍,随后一捻,就是MR.SEN。 但还没翻完第一章就不想继续了,回到目录页,挑着读了几节还感兴趣的主题,这本书就该放下了吧。 要说这本书的干货,其实就是SEN的几个观点。 1、自由是发展的目...
最近一直在苦读这本书啊,有一门课占60分的考试内容是这本书的review。。。伤不起啊!!!!
评分吐槽他是我和黄黄的日常乐趣之一,跳出经济学的分析框架扯上社会发展也是充分体现印度人的人精性格了。得个和平奖还说得过去,居然拿了经济学奖,我是真的给这群圣母跪了。
