In Development as Freedom Amartya Sen explains how in a world of unprecedented increase in overall opulence millions of people living in the Third World are still unfree. Even if they are not technically slaves, they are denied elementary freedoms and remain imprisoned in one way or another by economic poverty, social deprivation, political tyranny or cultural authoritarianism. The main purpose of development is to spread freedom and its 'thousand charms' to the unfree citizens. Freedom, Sen persuasively argues, is at once the ultimate goal of social and economic arrangements and the most efficient means of realizing general welfare. Social institutions like markets, political parties, legislatures, the judiciary, and the media contribute to development by enhancing individual freedom and are in turn sustained by social values. Values, institutions, development, and freedom are all closely interrelated, and Sen links them together in an elegant analytical framework. By asking 'What is the relation between our collective economic wealth and our individual ability to live as we would like?' and by incorporating individual freedom as a social commitment into his analysis Sen allows economics once again, as it did in the time of Adam Smith, to address the social basis of individual well-being and freedom.

读后感

森这本书的基本理念已经在减少贫困、饥荒等政策领域成为常识。 核心观点：自由不仅是发展的首要目的，也是发展的主要手段。p7 人之形象预设：agent 主体、能动者。p13 自由定义：一个人做自己认为有价值的事的可行能力。p48。 可行能力：capability，此人有可能实现的、各种...  

以自由看待发展 总体思路： 两个方面论述自由在发展中的重要性：1.评价性角度：以人们的自由是否得到增进，作为评判进步的首要标准。2.实效性角度：考察不同类型的自由之间相互促进的关联性。自由不仅是发展的一个“建构性”部分，而且还为增强其他类型的自由做出贡献。 研究自...  

通过此书，我改变了许多关其中于经济学死板的想法。其中最深刻的当属经济发展与自由民主之间的关系。 当初新加坡高速发展时，确实是摈弃了民主，由“国父”李光耀一人“力挽狂澜”，将新加坡带上了发展的高速列车，这也一直被视为中国发展中应该效仿的典范。但是作者...  

mujun 发表于 2008-10-01 19:16:40 每个礼拜三的下午都累得要死要活。两点钟开始先上三个小时的development study，课堂讨论加两个教授同时讲课非常不合作地把你往不同的方向拉。然后一个guest talk，你要知道这个叫做guest talk，不叫lecture，再大牌的学者跑过来都很casual...  

咋一看书名，以自由看待发展（Development as Freedom），总让人觉的是一个极其浅显的话题，一读第一章开头的小故事，更是如此觉得。发展是为了扩充自由，这是人家已经实践了几百年的事。谁不知道财富只是给予自由的手段呢？随便在大街上抓一个人，都会告诉你钱够花就行了。 ...

吐槽他是我和黄黄的日常乐趣之一，跳出经济学的分析框架扯上社会发展也是充分体现印度人的人精性格了。得个和平奖还说得过去，居然拿了经济学奖，我是真的给这群圣母跪了。

最近一直在苦读这本书啊，有一门课占60分的考试内容是这本书的review。。。伤不起啊！！！！
