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.
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.
0 照例先说点儿题外话,时间宝贵的同学可以直接跳过。 我承认,与森相比,我对自由理解甚浅。 然而,我仍有自由谈谈自由这个话题。当然,由于众所周知的原因,这篇文章很有可能谈得不够直截了当、淋漓尽致。但是,我还是要诚实地向诸位坦白,谈得不好的主要原...
评分Amartya Sen 因为研究福利经济学而获得诺奖,因为关注贫困群体而并誉为“经济学良心”。但是我认为,森将不朽的原因更多的可能是来自于他对“自由”这个概念内涵的扩展,给予其注入了强大的新鲜的生命力。 从斯密到哈耶克,再到罗尔斯,这些对自由理论作出了伟大贡献的...
评分几年前看了这本书,非常赞赏。今天看Sunstein的Republic.com 2.0,里面提到阿玛蒂亚·森的著名论断:民主国家不会产生饥荒。这个论断也许很正确而且重要。然而,无论是森本人,还是许多读者,都容易据此作出一个推论:想解决贫困与饥荒,那就发展民主。Sunstein就是这样推...

评分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...
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。
