By the winner of the 1988 Nobel Prize in Economics, an essential and paradigm-altering framework for understanding economic development--for both rich and poor--in the twenty-first century.
Freedom, Sen argues, is both the end and most efficient means of sustaining economic life and the key to securing the general welfare of the world's entire population. Releasing the idea of individual freedom from association with any particular historical, intellectual, political, or religious tradition, Sen clearly demonstrates its current applicability and possibilities. In the new global economy, where, despite unprecedented increases in overall opulence, the contemporary world denies elementary freedoms to vast numbers--perhaps even the majority of people--he concludes, it is still possible to practically and optimistically restain a sense of social accountability. Development as Freedom is essential reading.

Amartya Sen 因为研究福利经济学而获得诺奖,因为关注贫困群体而并誉为“经济学良心”。但是我认为,森将不朽的原因更多的可能是来自于他对“自由”这个概念内涵的扩展,给予其注入了强大的新鲜的生命力。 从斯密到哈耶克,再到罗尔斯,这些对自由理论作出了伟大贡献的...
评分mujun 发表于 2008-10-01 19:16:40 每个礼拜三的下午都累得要死要活。两点钟开始先上三个小时的development study,课堂讨论加两个教授同时讲课非常不合作地把你往不同的方向拉。然后一个guest talk,你要知道这个叫做guest talk,不叫lecture,再大牌的学者跑过来都很casual...
评分0 照例先说点儿题外话,时间宝贵的同学可以直接跳过。 我承认,与森相比,我对自由理解甚浅。 然而,我仍有自由谈谈自由这个话题。当然,由于众所周知的原因,这篇文章很有可能谈得不够直截了当、淋漓尽致。但是,我还是要诚实地向诸位坦白,谈得不好的主要原...
评分阿马蒂亚·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能...
评分在《以自由看待发展》中,森从伦理学、经济学等诸多视角,对整个世界人们的生活状况,尤其是发展中国家人们面临的贫穷、卫生、教育、粮食等等问题表达了关切,和非常严谨的分析。 森认为,传统的按GNP(或者人均或者总量或者GDP,whatever)衡量福利的做法不够全面和严谨。他...
好难读。。。。。。。。
评分可是更多的時候覺得他在迴避問題,例如提到自由是目標也是手段,提到自由是衡量發展的標準,可就是沒有正面回答當只能二選一的時候也怎麼辦,而且也沒有在宏觀層面的自由與微觀層面的自由做出明顯區分......可在講到 how much money can take us to immortality 的時候真覺得被戳中了....
评分2013-9-8在哈佛书店COOP的Faculty 书架上读到这本书,其中一个章节谈到英国的人均寿命在两次世界大战之间,意外地得到飞速提升,两次战争的十年中人均预期寿命提升了大约7岁。这真是一个有意思的现象。解放后,中国人的人均寿命也得到飞速提升,需要寻找类似的数据和研究。
评分less critical than expected
评分one of the assigned books from the class. i'm not convinced at all... but there may will be an equivocal way of answer or something i dont get like always
