Friendship, knowledge of foreign groups, the ability to purchase
milk and shoes, the scent of summer roses: of what interest is this
type of information to economists? Sabina Alkire shows how Nobel
Prize-winning economist Amartya Sen's capability approach can be
coherently--and practically--put to work in poverty reduction
activities. Sen argues that economic development should expand
'valuable' freedoms. Alkire probes how we identify what is
valuable. Foundational issues are addressed critically--dimensions
of development, practical reason, culture, basic needs--drawing on
Thomist authors who give central place to authentic participation.
A participatory procedure for identifying capability change is then
developed. Case studies of three Oxfam activities in
Pakistan--goat-rearing, female literacy, and rose
cultivation--illustrate this novel approach. Valuing Freedoms will
be of considerable interest to economists, philosophers,
development practitioners, and theologians, as well as to followers
of Sen's work.
