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.
搁下这本书,先说让我印象最深而最不重要的两点,一是翻译的不符合中文习惯,佶屈聱牙,感觉在读英文复合长句一口气不喘。二是非常想读哈耶克,作者在书中频频提及,批判性的引用勾起我极大兴趣。 在这本书里,我少有地看到了一位经济学家的人文关怀精神,这说明了理性客观的社...
評分http://hutianyi.net/?p=1642 1933年年末,泰戈尔,这位亚洲第一位,也是印度第一位诺贝尔奖获得者,接受了一个请求:他的秘书希望这位文学巨匠能为自己即将出世的外甥起一个名字。泰戈尔欣然同意,略思片刻后,取名“阿玛蒂亚(Amartya)”。这个词的意思是“另一个世界的”...
評分通过此书,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...
評分自由是促进发展的不可缺少的重要手段,因此需要社会保障这一社会安全网,让每个人都能够体面地生活。 自由不仅是手段,更是发展的首要目的。因此社会保障不是一种为了拜托贫困,消除不公平的手段,而是通过一系列的社会政策和福利保证贫困的人能够享有实质性自由...
評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...
第一遍完成 我知道還要再讀第二遍的
评分第一遍完成 我知道還要再讀第二遍的
评分吐槽他是我和黃黃的日常樂趣之一,跳齣經濟學的分析框架扯上社會發展也是充分體現印度人的人精性格瞭。得個和平奬還說得過去,居然拿瞭經濟學奬,我是真的給這群聖母跪瞭。
