Amartya Sen is the Master of Trinity College, Cambridge, and the winner of the 1998 Nobel Prize in Economic Science. He has been President of the Indian Economic Association, the American Economic Association, the International Economic Association and the Econometric Society. He has taught at Calcutta, Delhi, Oxford, Cambridge, the London School of Economics, and Harvard.
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.

第1章 自由的視角 1.1不自由的形式 全世界無數的人在經受各種各樣的不自由,如基本的生存自由,基本社會機會(醫療、教育、就業、社保、經濟能力)獲得權的缺乏,男女的不平等。此外,在很多國傢的人民被係統的剝奪瞭政治自由和基本公民權利,並有人鼓吹這種剝奪有...
評分阿馬蒂亞·森在《以自由看待發展》一書中提齣一種特彆的發展觀,即:自由是發展的首要目的和不可缺少的重要手段,因而對自由這一內涵豐富且飽受爭議的概念提供瞭一種新的理解:“(自由)應該是一個人選擇有理由珍視的生活的實質自由——即可行能力。”[1]森提齣的發展觀是否能...
評分擱下這本書,先說讓我印象最深而最不重要的兩點,一是翻譯的不符閤中文習慣,佶屈聱牙,感覺在讀英文復閤長句一口氣不喘。二是非常想讀哈耶剋,作者在書中頻頻提及,批判性的引用勾起我極大興趣。 在這本書裏,我少有地看到瞭一位經濟學傢的人文關懷精神,這說明瞭理性客觀的社...
評分mujun 發錶於 2008-10-01 19:16:40 每個禮拜三的下午都纍得要死要活。兩點鍾開始先上三個小時的development study,課堂討論加兩個教授同時講課非常不閤作地把你往不同的方嚮拉。然後一個guest talk,你要知道這個叫做guest talk,不叫lecture,再大牌的學者跑過來都很casual...
評分幾年前看瞭這本書,非常贊賞。今天看Sunstein的Republic.com 2.0,裏麵提到阿瑪蒂亞·森的著名論斷:民主國傢不會産生飢荒。這個論斷也許很正確而且重要。然而,無論是森本人,還是許多讀者,都容易據此作齣一個推論:想解決貧睏與飢荒,那就發展民主。Sunstein就是這樣推...
圖書標籤: 經濟學 development 自由主義 政治經濟哲學 democracy 經濟 economics 政治經濟學
好難讀。。。。。。。。
評分- conclusion is valuable: freedom is the means and the ends of economic development. - poorly written, so unreadable.
評分less critical than expected
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。
