Amartya Sen, CH (Bengali: অমর্ত্য সেন, translit. Ômorto Shen; born 3 November 1933) is an Indian Bengali economist who was awarded the 1998 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for his contributions to welfare economics and social choice theory, and for his interest in the problems of society's poorest members. Sen is best known for his work on the causes of famine, which led to the development of practical solutions for preventing or limiting the effects of real or perceived shortages of food. He helped to create the United Nations Human Development Index. In 2012, he became the first non-American recipient of the National Humanities Medal.
He is currently the Thomas W. Lamont University Professor and Professor of Economics and Philosophy at Harvard University. He is also a senior fellow at the Harvard Society of Fellows, distinguished fellow of All Souls College, Oxford and a Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, where he previously served as Master from 1998 to 2004. He is the first Indian and the first Asian academic to head an Oxbridge college. He also serves as the first Chancellor of the proposed Nalanda International University.
Amartya Sen's books have been translated into more than thirty languages over a period of forty years. He is a trustee of Economists for Peace and Security. In 2006, Time magazine listed him under "60 years of Asian Heroes" and in 2010 included him in their "100 most influential persons in the world".New Statesman listed him in their 2010 edition of "World's 50 Most Influential People Who Matter".
This book focuses on the causes of starvation in general and famines in particular. The traditional analysis of famines is shown to be fundamentally defective, and the author develops an alternative analysis.

評分 評分 評分中國有史以來最大的飢荒——“三年自然災害”還記得嗎?Amartiya Sen在本書中指齣,實行民主和言論自由的國傢從未有過飢荒的發生,而所有的飢荒都不是因為缺乏食物,而是社會問題造成的。因為信息的透明和言論自由所産生的政治壓力,不得不迫使政府去防止嚴重社會問題的發生,...
評分Amartya Sen,1998年諾貝爾經濟學奬,個人很喜歡他的思路和風格.本書中,一句話概括:當代社會作為一個有著多樣分配手段的復雜係統,飢荒不一定是因為源物質(這裏是糧食)不夠而引起,事實上甚至根本不是最主要的原因,而與人們對飢荒的心理預期、生産交換係統中的生態地位息息...
