About this listen
This episode explores the evolution of development theory, contrasting the traditional focus on economic growth with Amartya Sen’s view of development as expanding human freedoms and capabilities. Sen’s "capability approach" highlights the importance of social, political, and cultural factors, emphasizing policies that improve education and healthcare. His ideas have reshaped how we measure development, leading to more comprehensive indicators like the Human Development Index and a greater focus on individual agency in development efforts.
