स्वतंत्रता के रूप में विकास

परिचय

Sen gave the lectures on which the book is based at the World Bank in 1996–97 and published it in 1999, a year after receiving the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences. Against measuring development by income growth alone, he proposes the expansion of people’s “capabilities” – what they are actually able to do and to be. Political freedoms, economic facilities, social opportunities, transparency and protective security reinforce one another. Among his best-known theses is that no substantial famine has occurred in a functioning democracy with a free press. The book also deals with the agency of women, with markets and with the relation between human rights and cultural difference.
