Recenzje

'Understanding the capability approach is a great challenge, given the wide range of disciplines and debates involved. This handbook will greatly help those taking up that challenge. It includes chapters on the historical roots of the capability approach, philosophical debates, questions of measurement and evaluation, and questions of public policy and social concerns. This major contribution will be required reading for all students and scholars of the capability approach.' Ingrid Robeyns, Utrecht University
