This work explores a new development paradigm whose central focus
is on human well-being. Increase in income is treated as an
essential means, but not as the end of development, and certainly
not as the sum of human life. Development policies and strategies
are discussed which link economic growth with human lives in
various societies. The book also analyzes the evolution of a new
Human Development Index which is a far more comprehensive measure
of socio-economic progress of nations than the traditional measure
of Gross National Product. For the first time, a Political Freedom
Index is also presented.
The book offers a new vision of human security for the twenty-first
century where real security is equated with security of people in
their homes, their jobs, their communities, and their environment.
The book discusses many concrete proposals in this context,
including a global compact to overcome the worst aspects of global
poverty within a decade, key reforms in the Bretton Woods
institutions of World Bank and IMF, and establishment of a new
Economic Security Council within the United Nations.
