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".
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.

评分Amartya Sen,1998年诺贝尔经济学奖,个人很喜欢他的思路和风格.本书中,一句话概括:当代社会作为一个有着多样分配手段的复杂系统,饥荒不一定是因为源物质(这里是粮食)不够而引起,事实上甚至根本不是最主要的原因,而与人们对饥荒的心理预期、生产交换系统中的生态地位息息...
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? ...
评分能力不平等才是真的不平等 【读品】http://www.douban.com/group/dp/ 李华芳 让.雅克.卢梭在《论人类不平等的起源和基础》这篇雄文的序言中写道:“我觉得,人类知识中最有用而又最不完备的就是关于人的知识。”这些关于“人的知识”的匮乏,导致了不平等的起源,其思想也成了...
