Amartya Sen has made deep and lasting contributions to the academic
disciplines of economics, philosophy, and the social sciences more
broadly. He has engaged in policy dialogue and public debate,
advancing the cause of a human development focused policy agenda,
and a tolerant and democratic polity. This argumentative Indian has
made the case for the poorest of the poor, and for plurality in
cultural perspective. It is not surprising that he has won the
highest awards, ranging from the Nobel Prize in Economics to the
Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian honor. This public
recognition has gone hand in hand with the affection and admiration
that Amartya's friends and students hold for him. This volume of
essays, written in honor of his 75th birthday by his students and
peers, covers the range of contributions that Sen has made to
knowledge. They are written by some of the world's leading
economists, philosophers and social scientists, and address topics
such as ethics, welfare economics, poverty, gender, human
development, society and politics. This first volume covers the
topics of Ethics, Normative Economics and Welfare; Agency,
Aggregation and Social Choice; Poverty, Capabilities and
Measurement; and Identity, Collective Action and Public Economics.
It is a fitting tribute to Sen's own contributions to the discourse
on Ethics, Welfare and Measurement. Contributors include: Sabina
