Description
Martha Nussbaum's Creating Capabilities offers a powerful critique of conventional economic indicators and presents an alternate model for assessing human development. By focusing on what individuals can actually do and be, the Capabilities Approach provides a path to justice for both humans and nonhumans.
The book demonstrates how attending to the narratives of individuals and grasping the daily impact of policy can enable people everywhere to live full and creative lives. Nussbaum's work has significant implications for our understanding of human progress and its relevance in today's era of unjustifiable inequity.
