In this book, Amartya Sen, winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics, presents an essential framework for understanding economic development in the twenty-first century, for both rich and poor countries. He argues that freedom is both the end and the most efficient means of sustaining economic life and ensuring the general welfare of the world's population. Sen demonstrates the applicability and possibilities of individual freedom, freeing it from historical, intellectual, political, or religious traditions. In today's global economy, where unprecedented opulence coexists with the denial of elementary freedoms to vast populations, Sen concludes that it is possible to maintain a sense of social responsibility in a practical and optimistic way.
