Description
The Theory of Human Need presents a compelling argument about the fundamental needs that underpin human well-being. Rejecting subjective approaches to understanding human needs, the authors propose a universal and objective framework for assessing health and autonomy. This influential book develops a system of social indicators to measure what it means for societies to meet their citizens' basic needs. The authors examine the records of various economies, from developed to underdeveloped, to assess how well they have addressed these fundamental requirements. By exploring this critical issue, The Theory of Human Need offers valuable insights into the nature of human need and its relationship to social prosperity.
