Amartya Sen

Opis

This book brings together and develops some of the economic, social and ethical ideas explored since 1974. It examines the claims of equality in social arrangements, stressing that we should be concerned with peoples' capabilities rather than either their resources or their welfare. Sen also looks at some types of inequality that have been less systematically studied than those of class or wealth.

Recenzje

Sen's acute analysis and his remarkable powers of making subtle and relevant distinctions combine with his astonishing range of information to make instruments suitable for immediate political application ... compelling and elegantly argued book.
