Author: Amartya Sen ISBN: 290 Genre: Business & Economics File Size: 74.88 MB Format: PDF, ePub, Docs Download: 282 Read: 1236 By the winner of the 1988 Nobel Prize in Economics, an essential and paradigm-altering framework for understanding economic development--for both rich and poor--in the twenty-first century. Freedom, Sen argues, is both the end and most efficient means of sustaining economic life and the key to securing the general welfare of the world's entire population. Releasing the idea of individual freedom from association with any particular historical, intellectual, political, or religious tradition, Sen clearly demonstrates its current applicability and possibilities. In the new global economy, where, despite unprecedented increases in overall opulence, the contemporary world denies elementary freedoms to vast numbers--perhaps even the majority of people--he concludes, it is still possible to practically and optimistically restain a sense of social accountability. Development as Freedom is essential reading.
Category: Business & Economics. Author: Janna Miletzki ISBN: 402 Genre: File Size: 67.75 MB Format: PDF Download: 140 Read: 365 Amartya Sen uses his 1999 work Development as Freedom to evaluate the processes and outcomes of economic development. Having come to the conclusion that development is best summed up as the expansion of freedom, Sen examines traditional definitions and understandings of the term.
He says people tend to think of freedoms as economic (the freedom to enter into market exchanges) or political (the freedom to vote and be an active citizen), and tries to understand why the definition has been so narrow hitherto. He concludes that an evaluation of true freedom must necessarily include the freedom to access social services such as healthcare, sanitation and nutrition, just as much as it must acknowledge economic and political freedoms. Evaluating the relevance of the current thinking behind development, Sen's concludes that the term 'freedom' cannot simply be about income. In many ways, measuring income does not account for various 'unfreedoms' (manmade or natural bars to wellbeing) that hinder development. Sen's evaluation is all the more powerful for its clarity: 'The freedom-centered perspective has a generic similarity to the common concern with 'quality of life.'

Office 2003 Silent Install Mst. 5 (Schweizer Benotungssystem), Universitat Basel (Wirtschaftswissenschaftliches Zentrum), Veranstaltung: International Economics and Development, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Development as Freedom' basiert im Wesentlichen auf funf Vorlesungen, welche Amartya Sen im Herbst 1996 als Presidental Fellow von James David Wolfensohn bei der Weltbank hielt. In einem Interview mit der Asian Source' vom 6.
Dezember 2004 spricht er uber seine Beziehung zum damaligen Prasidenten und das Zustandekommen der Vorlesungsreihe: 'I cannot really claim that my lecturing the Bank has had any particular impact. But Jim Wolfensohn has introduced many new ideas and practices in the Bank which reflect his own thinking. I am very happy that his ideas have much similarity with my way of thinking, but he arrived at them on his own. When he asked me to give these lectures at the Bank, on any subject of my choice, I thought immediately that this was something I would like to do. And it was a good experience, with lots of useful comments on my lectures which I could use in finalizing the book, Development as Freedom.' (Asian Source 2008) Welche Ideen prasentierte Sen der Weltbank? Was hat Freiheit mit Wachstum und Entwicklung zu tun?
Um mich Antworten auf diese Fragen anzunahern, werde ich im vorliegendem Essay einige Aspekte seiner Ideen, wie sie in Development as Freedom' prasentiert werden, reflektieren. Dazu wird in einem ersten Schritt auf die entwicklungstheoretischen Uberzeugungen eingegangen, die uber all seinen empirischen Analysen trohnen: Entwicklung heisst eben dies - sich auf die Moglichkeiten der Freiheit ernsthaft einzulassen.

Dieser Uberzeugung folgend, setzt sich der Text mit Sens Versuch auseinander, die ethischen Dimension in der Wirtschaftswissenschaft wieder zu beleben.

Nevertheless, in order to restrict the domain, it might be useful to find a definition of it. The term underdevelopment, strictly related to its positive derivate, was defined by J. De Largentaye as a “weak degree of resource exploitation” 1, resources that can be natural, economic and human. For the author, the main dynamic was to find in the economic development, which is the increase in the amount of people nation's population with sustained growth, from a simple low-income economy, to a modern high-income economy, with the ultimate goal of improving the economic, political, and social well-being of its people2.
