Description

By the winner of the 1988 Nobel Prize in Economics, an very important and paradigm-altering framework for understanding economic development–for both wealthy and poor–Within the twenty-first century. 

Freedom, Sen argues, is both the end and most efficient means of sustaining economic life and the important thing 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. Within the new global economy, where, regardless of unprecedented increases in overall opulence, the latest world denies elementary freedoms to vast numbers–in all probability even the majority of people–he concludes, it’s still imaginable to practically and hopefully restain a sense of social accountability. Development as Freedom is very important reading.
