«Development as Freedom» is Amartya Sen's essay on development and freedom, published by OUP Oxford in paperback (366 pages, in English).
Amartya Sen argues that development must be understood as freedom: the expansion of people's real capabilities to choose the life they value. He analyses how poverty, lack of opportunity or absence of democracy limit those capabilities, and defends the role of markets and institutions in expanding them.
The author, Amartya Sen, received the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1998. The work was originally published in 1999; this 2001 edition includes notes, bibliographic references and an index.
