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.

中国有史以来最大的饥荒——“三年自然灾害”还记得吗?Amartiya Sen在本书中指出,实行民主和言论自由的国家从未有过饥荒的发生,而所有的饥荒都不是因为缺乏食物,而是社会问题造成的。因为信息的透明和言论自由所产生的政治压力,不得不迫使政府去防止严重社会问题的发生,...

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...

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...

冲着阿玛蒂亚森的名气和对当下相对贫困问题的关注看这本书,看后再一次应证了“围绕作者找书看大致不会错”的原则。 这本书最经典的一句话是:“饥荒意味着饥饿,反之则不然;饥饿意味着贫困,反之也不然”。 随着我国经济增长和人民生活水平的提高,我们这一代人大多是没有...
