Description
Development as Freedom by Amartya Sen offers a groundbreaking framework for understanding economic development in the 21st century.
The author argues that freedom is both the end and most efficient means of sustaining economic life, and that it holds key to securing the general welfare of the world's entire population. By releasing individual freedom from association with any particular tradition, Sen demonstrates its current applicability and possibilities.
As the global economy continues to evolve, this book provides a sense of social accountability in a world where vast numbers are denied elementary freedoms, despite unprecedented increases in overall opulence.
