"Development as Freedom is a general exposition of the economic ideas and analyses of Amartya Sen, winner of the 1998 Nobel Prize in Economic Science. This treatise analyzes the nature of contemporary economic development from the perspective of human freedom. Freedom, Sen persuasively argues, is at once the ultimate goal of economic life and the most efficient means of realizing general welfare. It is a good to be enjoyed by the world's entire population."--BOOK JACKET.
"This is a landmark work that shows how in individual human freedom - the exclusive possession, Sen shows, of no particular nation, region or historical, intellectual or religious tradition -lies the capacity for political participation, economic development and social progress."--BOOK JACKET.
