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.
評分以自由看待發展並不是自由主義的宣言。這書在西方自有它對話的語境,可惜跑到中國以後隻剩下一句“民主是一種普世價值”瞭。嘆。
評分##現在想想這本書的地位可能是與政治發展聯係的
評分##看不懂。。。
評分##less critical than expected
評分##作者帶著對大眾自覺、政治權謀、公共討論等等的美好假想,把倫理和經濟揉在一起 -_-!! 這書在發展研究的崇高學術地位。。果真是源自政治需要麼; freedom as the main end of development <-- capability approach; mujun的評論值得看http://book.douban.com/review/1514284/
評分##自由既是發展的目的,又是發展的手段——Sen想要著力打破的是“自由是否能夠促進發展”的因果討論,從而將對“發展”的討論焦點和評價尺度從“産齣與績效”轉變為“freedom和capabilities的提升”。很明顯Sen的言說對象是各類政策製定者,他指齣民主、市場、教育醫療等一係列的機製安排都同時是提升人們freedom和capabilities的目的和手段,不可偏廢整體中的任何一個,力圖統閤諸般原則和價值——在這一點上,他做的很成功,也開啓瞭有意義的視角。 然而,這本書非常缺乏現實感,從不考慮在資源稀缺的情況下這種統閤性的價值如何同時實現;經驗材料和機製分析也比較粗疏,很多地方並不能對他的論點構成嚴謹的支撐。
評分##準備aw的時候覺得這本書很多地方分析的非常縝密,尤其是關於unintended consequences那一部分。關於改革開放和三年自然災害的分析也挺值得一看的
評分##摺磨瞭我一個月的書,今天驚喜的發現讀!完!瞭!這麼難看的書怎麼能不推薦給你們!!!
