The poor seem easy to identify: those who do not have enough money
or enough of the things money can buy. This book explores a
different approach to poverty, one suggested by the notion of
capabilities emphasized by Amartya Sen and Martha Nussbaum. In the
spirit of the capabilities approach, the book argues that poverty
refers not to a lack of things but to the lack of the ability to
live life in a particular way. The authors argue that the poor are
those who cannot live a life that is discovered and created rather
than already known. Avoiding poverty, then, means having the
capacity and opportunity for creative living. The authors argue
that the capacity to do skilled work plays a particularly important
role in creative living, and suggest that the development of the
ability to do skilled work is a vital part of solving the problem
of poverty.
