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.
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.
0 照例先说点儿题外话,时间宝贵的同学可以直接跳过。 我承认,与森相比,我对自由理解甚浅。 然而,我仍有自由谈谈自由这个话题。当然,由于众所周知的原因,这篇文章很有可能谈得不够直截了当、淋漓尽致。但是,我还是要诚实地向诸位坦白,谈得不好的主要原...
評分第1章 自由的视角 1.1不自由的形式 全世界无数的人在经受各种各样的不自由,如基本的生存自由,基本社会机会(医疗、教育、就业、社保、经济能力)获得权的缺乏,男女的不平等。此外,在很多国家的人民被系统的剥夺了政治自由和基本公民权利,并有人鼓吹这种剥夺有...
評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...
評分自由是促进发展的不可缺少的重要手段,因此需要社会保障这一社会安全网,让每个人都能够体面地生活。 自由不仅是手段,更是发展的首要目的。因此社会保障不是一种为了拜托贫困,消除不公平的手段,而是通过一系列的社会政策和福利保证贫困的人能够享有实质性自由...
評分几年前看了这本书,非常赞赏。今天看Sunstein的Republic.com 2.0,里面提到阿玛蒂亚·森的著名论断:民主国家不会产生饥荒。这个论断也许很正确而且重要。然而,无论是森本人,还是许多读者,都容易据此作出一个推论:想解决贫困与饥荒,那就发展民主。Sunstein就是这样推...
最近一直在苦讀這本書啊,有一門課占60分的考試內容是這本書的review。。。傷不起啊!!!!
评分吐槽他是我和黃黃的日常樂趣之一,跳齣經濟學的分析框架扯上社會發展也是充分體現印度人的人精性格瞭。得個和平奬還說得過去,居然拿瞭經濟學奬,我是真的給這群聖母跪瞭。
