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 & 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 & its &thousand charms& to the unfree citizens Freedom Sen persuasively argues is at once the ultimate goal of social & economic arrangements & the most efficient means of realizing general welfare Social institutions like markets political parties legislatures the judiciary & the media contribute to development by enhancing individual freedom & are in turn sustained by social values Values institutions development & freedom are all closely interrelated & Sen links them together in an elegant analytical framework By asking & What is the relation between our collective economic wealth & our individual ability to live as we would like?& & 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 & freedom ...

If you are instructor in a course that uses Development Economics & wish to have access to the end-of-chapter problems in Development Economics please e-mail the author at debrajraynyuedu For more information please go to httpwwweconnyueduuserdebraj If you are a student in the course please do not contact the author Please request your instructor to do so The study of development in low-income countries is attracting more attention around the world than ever before Yet until now there has been no comprehensive text that incorporates the huge strides made in the subject over the past decade Development Economics does precisely that in a clear rigorous & elegant fashion Debraj Ray one of the most accomplished theorists in development economics today presents in this book a synthesis of recent & older literature in the field & raises important questions that will help to set the agenda for future research He covers such vital subjects as theories of economic growth economic inequality poverty & undernutrition population growth trade policy & the markets for land labor & credit A common point of view underlies the treatment of these subjects that much of the development process can be understood by studying factors that impede the efficient & equitable functioning of markets Diverse topics such as the new growth theory moral hazard in land contracts information-based theories of credit markets & the macroeconomic implications of economic inequality come under this common methodological umbrella The book takes the position that there is no single cause for economic progress but that a combination of factors--among them the improvement of physical & human capital the reduction of inequality & institutions that enable the background flow of information essential to market performance--consistently favor development Ray supports his arguments throughout with examples from around the world The book assumes a knowledge of only introductory economics & explains sophisticated concepts in simple direct language keeping the use of mathematics to a minimum Development Economics will be the definitive textbook in this subject for years to come It will prove useful to researchers by showing intriguing connections among a wide variety of subjects that are rarely discussed together in the same book & it will be an important resource for policy-makers who increasingly find themselves dealing with complex issues of growth inequality poverty & social welfare ...
