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.
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...
评分第4章 以可行能力剥夺看待的贫困 4.1收入贫困与可行能力贫困 可行能力的提高与收入增长存在正向关联,可行能力的改善既能以直接的、又能以间接的方式减少剥夺。 4.2何种意义上的不平等? 关于平等的历史思考,已建立了斯密的“不偏不倚的旁观者”、罗尔斯的“初始状态...
评分第10章 文化与人权 10.1三种批评 对于支撑人权言论的整个概念结构一般有三个相当不同的考虑因素,包括“正当性批评”、“逻辑连贯性批评”和“文化性批评”。 10.2正当性批评 此类批评的共同点是坚持必须把权利看作是“后于”体制的工具,而不是一种“先定”的伦理利益。综...

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。
