Details: Development As Freedom is not a fiction-oriented book, but yet, a compelling work from an economist. It forces readers to change the way they look at or think about economical development. The writer, Amartya Sen puts forth an entirely radical view that elementary freedom is what sustains economic life and brings about general welfare for people all over the world.
The writer demonstrates with clarity how personal freedom from any kind of historical, political or religious shackles can bring about better development. He also puts forward some arguments which make the readers sit up and think about the irony that despite overall development in the world, huge number of people in the world do not have enjoy even the most elementary freedoms.
Though the writer’s ideas are highly optimistic, they are not impractical. International development is the goal of this book and the writer points out some viable ways of achieving it. He believes that liberty from religious and political bigotry is what can erase poverty, deprivation and oppression from this world. Development As Freedom was published in 2001 by Oxford University Press in paperback.
