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.
以自由看待发展并不是自由主义的宣言。这书在西方自有它对话的语境,可惜跑到中国以后只剩下一句“民主是一种普世价值”了。叹。
评分##好难读。。。。。。。。
评分##one of the assigned books from the class. i'm not convinced at all... but there may will be an equivocal way of answer or something i dont get like always
评分##作者带着对大众自觉、政治权谋、公共讨论等等的美好假想,把伦理和经济揉在一起 -_-!! 这书在发展研究的崇高学术地位。。果真是源自政治需要么; freedom as the main end of development <-- capability approach; mujun的评论值得看http://book.douban.com/review/1514284/
评分##森博士论述自由的经典书目,可是到目前为止那么多国家(特别是撒哈拉以南国家)的发展似乎都在证明以‘发展途径的自由’为中心的发展并没有带来自由,那么在缺乏‘两个基本点’前提下的这个中心价值何在?
评分##GDS课的梦靥
评分##看不懂。。。
评分##现在想想这本书的地位可能是与政治发展联系的
评分##less critical than expected
