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.
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.
搁下这本书,先说让我印象最深而最不重要的两点,一是翻译的不符合中文习惯,佶屈聱牙,感觉在读英文复合长句一口气不喘。二是非常想读哈耶克,作者在书中频频提及,批判性的引用勾起我极大兴趣。 在这本书里,我少有地看到了一位经济学家的人文关怀精神,这说明了理性客观的社...
评分《以自由看待发展》是我完完整整读过的第一本关于发展经济学的著作——甚或范围再扩大一些——经济学著作!!!(吐个槽,学化学的伤不起啊) 这位印度伟大的诺贝尔奖获得者,出于一种自发的对于社会发展的高度理解,较出生于西方的经济学家来说,读起他的著作更为客观且并没有...
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...
评分森这本书的基本理念已经在减少贫困、饥荒等政策领域成为常识。 核心观点:自由不仅是发展的首要目的,也是发展的主要手段。p7 人之形象预设:agent 主体、能动者。p13 自由定义:一个人做自己认为有价值的事的可行能力。p48。 可行能力:capability,此人有可能实现的、各种...
评分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。
