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.

評分咋一看书名,以自由看待发展(Development as Freedom),总让人觉的是一个极其浅显的话题,一读第一章开头的小故事,更是如此觉得。发展是为了扩充自由,这是人家已经实践了几百年的事。谁不知道财富只是给予自由的手段呢?随便在大街上抓一个人,都会告诉你钱够花就行了。 ...
評分 評分阿马蒂亚·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...
評分《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...
