Development as Freedom - really learning
Development as Freedom Amartya Sen Oxford University Press 1999 Summary by Valerie Iles in 2001 Introduction Development can be seen as a process of expanding the freedoms that people enjoy. And if Freedom is what Development is about then it makes sense to concentrate on that rather than on some of the means or instruments of achieving it. This approach contrasts with others such as identifying Development with the growth of GNP, rise in personal incomes, or with industrialisation, technological advance, or social modernisation. These are all important but are means and not ends. Freedoms depend also on other determinants social and economic arrangements ( education and health facilities), political and civil rights. Development requires the removing of major sources of unfreedom: poverty as well as tyranny, poor economic opportunities as well as social deprivation, neglect of public facilities as well as intolerance. The world has unprecedented opulence and yet denies freedoms to vast numbers of people.
