Amartya Sen's Inequality Re-Examined is a seminal text setting out
a theory to evaluate social arrangements and inequality. By asking
the question, 'equality of what'?, Sen shows that (in)equality
should be assessed as human freedom; for people to have the ability
to pursue and achieve goals they value or have reason to value. The
text lays out the fundamental ideas to Amartya Sen's Capability
Approach. This approach is celebrated in diverse academic
disciplines because of its specific contribution towards the
improvement to debates on inequality beyond economic deprivation
and utility measures. Furthermore, the arguments put forward by Sen
in Inequality Re-Examined has had many practical applications
throughout policy circles including the Human Development Index,
the Multi -Dimensional Poverty Measure, the compilation of lists of
capabilities and drawing further attention to human agency and
democracy. Amartya Sen won the Nobel Prize for Economics in 1998
for his contribution to welfare economics; the core arguments of
this work is found in this book.
