By the winner of the 1988 Nobel Prize in Economics, an essential and paradigm-altering framework for understanding economic development--for both rich and poor--in the twenty-first century.
Freedom, Sen argues, is both the end and most efficient means of sustaining economic life and the key to securing the general welfare of the world's entire population. Releasing the idea of individual freedom from association with any particular historical, intellectual, political, or religious tradition, Sen clearly demonstrates its current applicability and possibilities. In the new global economy, where, despite unprecedented increases in overall opulence, the contemporary world denies elementary freedoms to vast numbers--perhaps even the majority of people--he concludes, it is still possible to practically and optimistically restain a sense of social accountability. Development as Freedom is essential reading.

Freedoms are not only the primary ends of development, they are also among its principal means.

Sen描绘了一个理想主义者的愿景,但对凡人来说却太过无力,毕竟众生皆苦,现代社会的发展史,就是普通人被物化、异化,成为少数精英阶级牺牲品的历史。

【COMP】CPE 自由和发展之间的因果链不是单向的,而发展这个概念的多样性又让政策导向更为复杂。书是好书,但实用性可能差了些。尤其是20年过去了,那些发展中的国家--不论是不是以自由为导向--都在不同程度不同纬度的发展上倒退了 只能一声叹息
