If you are interested in the idea of development and you are familiar with the concept of sustainable development most likely you know Professor Sen. He is winner of Noble prize of Economy in 1998 “for his contributions to welfare economics” for his work on famine, human development theory, welfare economics, the underlying mechanisms of poverty, and political liberalism. Development as Freedom is a book wrote by Dr.Sen and I think this book is one of the milestones in the development literature.
In the Google Review Book Section we learned that:
“Amartya Sen is the most respected and well-known economist of his time. This book is a synthesis of his thought, viewing economic development as a means to extending freedoms rather than an end in itself. By widening his outlook to include poverty, tyranny, lack of opportunity, individual rights, and political structures, Professor Sen gives a stimulating and enlightening overview of the development process. His compassionate yet rigorous analysis will appeal to all those interested in the fate of the developing world, from general reader to specialist.”
