Tầm nhìn Kinh tế Đạo đức của Giáo hoàng Francis - Một Lời Kêu Gọi Cải Cách Hệ ThốngGiáo hoàng Francis không chỉ là một lãnh đạo tôn giáo mà còn là một nhà phê bình sắc sảo về hệ thống kinh tế toàn cầu. Với góc nhìn từ Mỹ Latinh, ngài chỉ trích chủ nghĩa tư bản hiện đại vì đã đánh mất la bàn đạo đức, đặt lợi nhuận trên con người và dẫn đến bất bình đẳng, nghèo đói, cùng suy thoái môi trường. Thay vì bác bỏ hoàn toàn chủ nghĩa tư bản, ngài kêu gọi tái định hướng kinh tế dựa trên nền tảng đạo đức, nhấn mạnh rằng kinh tế không chỉ là kỹ thuật mà là một hệ thống phản ánh các giá trị nhân văn.Giáo hoàng Francis gọi hệ thống kinh tế hiện nay là “một nền kinh tế loại trừ và bất bình đẳng” – một hệ thống “giết chết” khi phục vụ lợi ích của một số ít thay vì cộng đồng. Từ trải nghiệm ở Argentina, ngài chứng kiến sự tàn khốc của bất công kinh tế: cộng đồng tan rã, bất bình đẳng gia tăng, và các tệ nạn xã hội lan rộng. Ngài chỉ trích sự tập trung của cải, cho rằng thị trường, thay vì tạo ra giá trị chung, đang trở thành công cụ bóc lột. Quan điểm này thách thức các giả định tân cổ điển về tính tự điều chỉnh của thị trường, khẳng định rằng nghèo đói và bất công là “tội lỗi cấu trúc” cần được sửa chữa.Trong thông điệp Laudato Si', Giáo hoàng Francis gắn kết kinh tế với sinh thái, coi suy thoái môi trường là hệ quả tất yếu của một nền kinh tế biến thiên nhiên thành hàng hóa và bỏ rơi người nghèo. Ngài gọi Trái Đất là “người nghèo bị ngược đãi nhất”, nhấn mạnh rằng kinh tế và sinh thái là hai mặt của trách nhiệm đạo đức. Cách tiếp cận này không chỉ phê phán mô hình tăng trưởng vô hạn mà còn kêu gọi một nền kinh tế tôn trọng cả con người lẫn thiên nhiên.Giáo hoàng Francis không dừng lại ở phê bình mà đưa ra tầm nhìn về một nền kinh tế dựa trên đoàn kết, công lý và quản lý sinh thái. Hội nghị Kinh Tế của Francesco năm 2020 là minh chứng cho nỗ lực này, khuyến khích các nhà kinh tế đặt câu hỏi cơ bản: “Chúng ta muốn loại thị trường nào, và vì ai?”. Ngài kêu gọi tái thiết hệ thống kinh tế từ nền tảng đạo đức, thay vì chỉ sửa chữa bề mặt. Các đề xuất cụ thể bao gồm từ bỏ độc quyền sở hữu trí tuệ trong y tế (như vắc-xin COVID-19) và xóa nợ cho các nước đang phát triển, xem đó là vấn đề công lý hơn là từ thiện.Tầm nhìn của Giáo hoàng Francis không phải là một sáng tạo riêng lẻ mà nằm trong truyền thống tư tưởng kinh tế nhân văn. Ngài chia sẻ quan điểm với các nhà kinh tế như Joseph Stiglitz, Amartya Sen, và Thomas Piketty, những người nhấn mạnh công lý, năng lực con người, và quản trị dân chủ trong kinh tế. Ngay cả Adam Smith, với lời cảnh báo về sự đồng cảm và lòng tin, được ngài viện dẫn để nhắc nhở rằng kinh tế phải phục vụ lợi ích chung. Quan điểm này bác bỏ ý tưởng về kinh tế “trung lập giá trị”, khẳng định mọi chính sách đều phản ánh một hệ giá trị đạo đức.Là tiếng nói cho Thế giới phía Nam, Giáo hoàng Francis đã trở thành một lực lượng đạo đức toàn cầu, nhắc nhở thế giới rằng kinh tế tồn tại để phục vụ con người và phẩm giá. Di sản của ngài nằm ở việc đặt nền móng cho một hệ thống tài chính quốc tế công bằng hơn, thông qua các sáng kiến như Ủy ban Năm Thánh. Trong bối cảnh khủng hoảng toàn cầu, thông điệp của ngài mang tính cấp bách: kinh tế cần được “cứu chuộc” bằng cách đặt công lý, đoàn kết và trách nhiệm sinh thái làm trung tâm. Thách thức đặt ra là liệu thế giới có sẵn sàng đáp ứng lời kêu gọi tái định hình này hay không.Tầm nhìn kinh tế đạo đức của Giáo hoàng Francis là một lời cảnh tỉnh mạnh mẽ, thách thức các nhà kinh tế và lãnh đạo toàn cầu nhìn nhận lại mục đích của kinh tế. Bằng cách kết nối bất công kinh tế, suy thoái môi trường và trách nhiệm đạo đức, ngài không chỉ phê phán mà còn truyền cảm hứng cho một mô hình kinh tế nhân văn hơn. Trong một thế giới đối mặt với bất bình đẳng và biến đổi khí hậu, thông điệp của ngài không chỉ là lý thuyết mà là kim chỉ nam cho hành động, hướng tới một tương lai công bằng và bền vững.

The SPaMCAST 854  features an essay on the linkage of accountability, responsibility, performance, and freedom. In our ongoing Re-read Saturday series featuring Amartya Sen's "Development As Freedom," we've found a compelling connection between Sen's insights and this week's discussion on personal accountability and performance. Specifically, Chapter 12's exploration of the interdependence between freedom and responsibility resonates deeply with the core concepts of our essay. We also have a visit from . In this installment of Not A Scumdamentalist, we discuss accountability. Mastering Work Intake sponsors SPaMCAST! Look at your to-do list and tell me your work intake process is perfectly balanced.

Ignacy Sachs (1927-2023), intelectual visionário da ecossocioeconomia desde os anos 1970, foi homenageado em Paris pela Fundação Maison des Sciences de l'Homme (FMSH), em várias mesas redondas nesta quarta-feira (13). Pioneiro, ele lançou as bases para o debate tão urgente e atual sobre a necessidade de um novo paradigma de desenvolvimento, enlaçando economia, ecologia, antropologia cultura e ciência política. Nascido na Polônia em 1927, Ignacy Sachs fugiu com sua família do nazismo e viveu no Brasil de 1941 a 1954, onde se formou em economia. Depois se instalou na Índia, onde obteve um doutorado com uma tese sobre modelos do setor público em economias subdesenvolvidas.Em 1968, foi convidado para ensinar na Escola de Altos Estudos em Ciências Sociais (EHESS), em Paris, onde criou, em 1985, o Centro de Pesquisas sobre o Brasil Contemporâneo. Sachs também trabalhou na organização da primeira Conferência de Meio Ambiente e Desenvolvimento da ONU, em 1972, em Estocolmo, Suécia, quando foi criado o Programa das Nações Unidas para o Meio Ambiente (PNUMA).“Ele trabalhou intensamente no campo da economia do desenvolvimento e contribuiu fortemente para a evolução do conceito, que nasce na economia como simples crescimento econômico, de indicadores como o PIB, o nível de atividade econômico, o tamanho da economia”, explica Emílio Lèbre La Rovere, coordenador do Centro Clima da Coppe UFRJ, e integrante do painel do IPCC que ganhou o Nobel da Paz em 2007.  “Depois, tem toda uma contribuição com a Cepal (Comissão Econômica para a América Latina), Celso Furtado e os estruturalistas – Raul Prebisch -, no sentido de dizer que não era apenas crescimento, mas era também industrialização, modificação da estrutura da economia para um estágio mais avançado que simplesmente produzir bens primários, agrícolas e commodities”, continua La Rovere.Ecodesenvolvimento“Ele incorpora o conceito de ecodesenvolvimento, de desenvolvimento em harmonia com o meio ambiente. Ele foi consultor das Nações Unidas com extensa contribuição na América Latina, na Ásia. Trabalhou muito no Brasil, inclusive até recentemente. Foi consultor do Sebrae, Serviço Brasileiro de Apoio à pequena e média empresa. Essa contribuição, que mais tarde deu lugar a uma tradução em inglês para 'desenvolvimento sustentável' no relatório 'Nosso futuro comum', em 1986, de Gro Brundtland, foi seminal para mostrar a importância de se agregar a dimensão ambiental também na economia”, explicaSérgio Pereira Leite, professor titular da Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro, do Programa de Pós-graduação de Ciências Sociais em Desenvolvimento, Agricultura e Sociedade, conheceu Sachs na década de 1990. Ele ressalta a generosidade intelectual, o desprendimento com pesquisadores de vários países e a compreensão que ele tinha de diversas culturas“Também destaco a capacidade dele de antever uma série de questões, problemas, assuntos que hoje estão à luz do dia e totalmente atuais, especialmente no campo da sociobiodiversidade, digamos assim, do desenvolvimento territorial, das questões relacionadas ao combate à luta contra a pobreza e a desigualdade”, destaca Leite, que também é coordenador do Observatório de Políticas Públicas para a Agricultura e membro da Academia da Agricultura da França.Segurança alimentar“Desde os anos 1970, Sachs produzia análises muito finas, muito complexas também sobre diferentes questões e particularmente sobre ecodesenvolvimento, antevendo uma situação dramática que atravessamos hoje com esses extremos climáticos e as mudanças e os impactos que eles têm acarretado”, acrescenta.  “Ele teve uma inspiração muito grande para pessoas que trabalham com o meio rural brasileiro, em especial sobre o processo de emergência da assim chamada agricultura familiar, ou seja, o protagonismo desses atores do campo brasileiro e sua capacidade de direcionar políticas públicas específicas a esse segmento, como, por exemplo, o próprio Programa Nacional de Fortalecimento da Agricultura Familiar, o Pronaf, mas também aqueles àquelas políticas direcionadas à segurança alimentar e, em particular, a reforma agrária”, explica.Democratização fundiária“Sachs tinha uma percepção muito aguçada desse processo relacionado à democratização fundiária e como ele poderia contribuir para um melhor estilo ou padrão de desenvolvimento nacional, pensando o Brasil que ele conhecia profundamente bem, em diferentes áreas. E é importante mencionar que ele foi um dos entusiastas do processo de políticas de desenvolvimento territorial que o Brasil vai experimentar, sobretudo nos anos 2000, com a Política Nacional de Desenvolvimento Sustentável dos Territórios Rurais, o Pronaf e o Programa de Territórios da Cidadania, criado em 2008, para o qual o próprio Sachs atuou como um dos consultores”, relata o pesquisador.“Ele via nessa possibilidade de desenvolvimento territorial que seria mais ou menos uma esfera intermediária entre a municipalidade e a administração dos governos estaduais, uma capacidade de integração de atores de diferentes segmentos, entre eles o próprio setor rural, na dinamização dessas regiões, produzindo uma distribuição melhor desses recursos e dessas riquezas, numa proposta de descentralização, inclusive de adensamento dos demográficos mais regionalizados e um melhor atendimento dos serviços públicos, em especial saúde, educação, transporte, moradia e, no caso rural, uma série de facilidades, desde a eletrificação rural até apoio à própria produção agropecuária, no sentido de estimular a de outras regiões que poderiam vir a conseguir uma situação ou um padrão de vida. Ou naquilo que o Amartya Sen chamou do Índice do Desenvolvimento Humano, muito mais amplo e inclusivo.”A descentralização do processo foi um ponto importante levantado por Sachs, “para que ocorresse de forma mais desconcentrada, inclusive da renda e da riqueza, e gerando novas oportunidades de renda, emprego e também de produção propriamente dita, especialmente aquela ligada aos mercados locais, regionais e que estimulassem a circulação de bens dentro dessas esferas”, explica Pereira Leite.

Today's episode will be part of a 3-part series where I, your host, Nathan Greene, interview a group of my current professors here at Clark University.  I want to preface this series by asking you what you think development is. Currently, I'm in my last semester of a master's in International Development at Clark University, where I've begun to question my own assumptions of what development is.  I was first introduced to this concept of development in my economic growth and development course at St. John's University. There, we explored how economic growth led to improvements in living standards that allowed people to achieve their full potential. This is what Nobel Laureate, Amartya Sen, calls his capability approach: when societies are able to produce the conditions necessary for people to flourish. But, since coming to Clark, my idea of development has changed. I began to separate economic development from general development. Growth wasn't always desirable, and could even lead to entrenched inequalities, environmental degradation, or accumulation by dispossession. So I want to ask you again, what does development mean to you? Is it different from economic growth? Are the two mutually exclusive? And, should we even strive for economic growth? To answer these questions, I've enlisted the help of three of my professors, who have helped shape my understanding of development. The first person we'll be speaking to is Dr. Jude Fernando, who will tell us about his research on Microfinance and small-scale solutions to societal improvement. The second person we'll speak with is Dr. Denise Bebbington to get a macro-level understanding of the impacts of economic growth. We'll then conclude with Dr. Dave Bell, who will give us a more metaphysical analysis of development and how the concept has changed over time.  Dr. Jude Fernando is currently a professor at Clark University and has held professorships at multiple institutions such as the University of Arizona, Dordt College, and the University of Colombo in Sri Lanka. His research work focuses on Microfinance and the role NGOs play in development. His research has earned him consulting roles at global institutions such as the International Fund for Agricultural Development, the Asia Foundation, and the World Bank. Dr. Fernando is the founder of the Alfa Children and Youth Training Institute in Sri Lanka, an NGO established to help children impacted by the Southeast Asian Tsunami of 2004. He has written many journal articles and book contributions but is also the author of The Political Economy of NGOs: State Formation in Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. Dr. Fernando earned his bachelor's degree in applied economics from the University of Peradeniya in Sri Lanka; and his PhD in economics, anthropology, and south asian history from the University of Pennsylvania. For today's episode, we'll discuss Microfinance and its criticisms, small- versus large-scale change, and why economists should rethink the importance of the solidarity economy.  To check out more of our content, including our research and policy tools, visit our website: https://www.hgsss.org/ --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/smart-talk-hgsss/support

Amartya Sen, gerade mit dem Wirtschaftsnobelpreis geehrt, spendete sein altes Fahrrad und eine Ausgabe des indischen Mathematik-Klassikers Aryabhatiya, erzählt Martin Schenk, Psychologe und Sozialexperte der Diakonie.

In dieser KrimShort spricht Marie über den Befähigungsansatz (Capability-Ansatz) von dem Ökonom und Philosoph Amartya Sen, den er teilweise in Zusammenarbeit mit der Philosophin Martha Nussbaum und anderen Kolleg:innen erarbeitet und weiterentwickelt hat. Dieser Denkansatz fordert, bei der Evaluation von Reichtum und Armut über die meistens verwendeten Standardkennzahlen, wie Einkommen, BIP oder BNE, hinaus zu blicken. Sen argumentiert, dass lieber die tatsächlichen Verwirklichungschancen eines Menschen gemessen werden sollten, da diese aussagekräftiger als die Standardkennzahlen seien. Neben einem tieferen Verständnis für Armut/Reichtum weist dieser Ansatz sogar Ähnlichkeiten zu einer bestimmten kriminologischen Theorie auf. Zu welcher, das hört ihr in der Folge!

In this episode of Don't Call Me Resilient, we continue our conversation about forced famine and its use as a powerful tool to control people, land and resources. Starvation has, for centuries, been a part of the colonizer's “playbook.”We speak with two scholars to explore two historic examples: the decimation of Indigenous populations in the Plains, North America, which historian David Stannard has called the American Holocaust and in India, the 1943 famine in Bengal. According to a recent BBC story, the Bengal famine of 1943 killed more than three million people. It was one of the worst losses of civilian life on the Allied side in the Second World War. (The United Kingdom lost 450,000 lives during that same war.)Although disease, environmental disasters and famine were features of life before colonialism, decades of research has shown how these occurrences were manipulated by colonial powers to prolong starvation and trigger chronic famine. In other words, starvation has been effectively used by colonial powers to control populations, acquire land and the wealth that comes with that. This colonization was accompanied by an “entitlement approach” and the belief that Indigenous populations are inferior to the lives of the colonizer.According to scholars, prior to the arrival of colonialists, both populations at the heart of today's episode were thriving with healthy and wealthy communities. And although disease and famine existed before the arrival of Europeans, it cannot be denied colonial powers accelerated and even capitalized on chronic famine and the loss of life due to disease and malnutrition.As the famous economist Amartya Sen has said, famine is a function of repression. It springs from the politics of food distribution rather than a lack of food. Imperial policies such as the Boat Denial Policy and Rice Denial Policy meant that, as curator Natasha Ginwala wrote: “freshly harvested grain was set on fire, or even dumped into the river.”Joining on this episode were two experts on the North American and Bengal famines.James Daschuk is an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Kinesiology and Health Studies at the University of Regina. He is the author of Clearing the Plains: Disease, Politics of Starvation and the Loss of Aboriginal Life.We also spoke with Janam Mukherjee, an Associate Professor of History at Toronto Metropolitan University, and the author of Hungry Bengal: War, Famine and the End of Empire. Mukherjee was recently a primary historical advisor on the BBC Radio 4 series “Three Million,” a five-part documentary on the Bengal famine of 1943.For more information and resources about this, go here: SHOW NOTESA full transcript of this episode can be found here: TRANSCRIPT

Se constata que Europa es, cada vez más, el destino de todos los exploradores de la felicidad individual, mientras otros se dedican, musculados, a producir chips y coches eléctricos. Él lo celebra. Habrá que resolver, claro está, los desajustes que causa el turismo, pero en general, está en desacuerdo que sea incompatible con el crecimiento económico. ¡Aplíquese el dinero de los visitantes a la investigación! ¡Ábrase el Prado a las tres de la mañana! No vería mal, incluso, sacar entradas para visitar París. Póngase el continente, en suma, a plena disposición de todo aquel que quiera ser feliz, y fluya el comercio.   Prefiere, con mucho, este tema a esa espuma sucia de la actualidad a la que, trabajador incansable en su oficio, se ve abocado a dedicarse hora a hora, ¡como si fuera los riñones de España! ¡Como esa tontería de ese alcalde que dice que León es muy distinto de Castilla!   Ya dejó escrito lo que opina del acuerdo para renovar el Consejo General del Poder Judicial: no se puede prender la hoguera del apocalipsis y al día siguiente querer apagarla con un leve escupitajo. Todos los que esperan el fin del mundo se sienten, así, defraudados, y la «banda de los cuatro», excrecencias de ambos partidos a izquierda y derecha, verán engrosadas sus filas.   Por lo demás, la incapacidad de los partidos mayoritarios para deshacerse de las excrecencias políticas es especialmente dolorosa en Cataluña. Lo que pasó el miércoles en el Parlament ya lo dijo él primero y, pese a ello, no deja de asombrarse cómo nadie en España quiere quitarse uno de los mayores problemas que la han aquejado en los últimos diez años.   Suerte que los viejos cazanazis Serge y Beate Klarsfeld dejaron claro que votarán por Macron. No le parece que tengan razón en preferir a Le Pen sobre el Frente Popular. No se puede luchar contra un racismo echándose en los brazos del otro racismo de signo opuesto.   Y fue así que Espada yiró.   Bibliografía: - Arcadi Espada, «Y es así como los demócratas matan a las democracias», en El Mundo. - Tom Fairless, «Europe Has a New Economic Engine: American Tourists», en The Wall Street Journal. - Marc Bassets, «Serge Klarsfeld, veterano cazanazis francés: “El Nuevo Frente Popular de izquierdas es más peligroso que Le Pen”», en El País. - Amartya Sen, «¿Puede la democracia impedir las hambrunas?», en Claves de la Razón Práctica, núm. 28, 1992.

A central theme in Ian Shapiro's extensive body of research is the concept of domination, which captures the reactive nature of human beings towards power structures. Unlike traditional political theories that imagine societies designing just orders from scratch, Ian argues that political institutions evolve in response to the rejection of unacceptable power dynamics. This reactive nature is evident in the historical shifts from feudalism to absolutism, and eventually to democracy, driven by people's resistance to absolute power.Ian Shapiro is Sterling Professor of Political Science and Global Affairs at Yale University. In his latest book Uncommon Sense, he explores why citizens in many democracies are profoundly alienated and some democracies are in danger of failing. Key highlightsIntroduction – 00:24The fight against domination – 02:50The role of political parties in resisting domination – 05:41Disillusionment with democracies and the role of deliberation – 11:24Amartya Sen and development as freedom – 23:16Betting on hope – 34:29 HostProfessor Dan Banik (@danbanik @GlobalDevPod)Apple Spotify YouTube Subscribe:https://in-pursuit-of-development.simplecast.comhttps://globaldevpod.substack.com/

"It's very easy to criticise the BJP government or the Mamta government for censorship. What we don't realise is we are doing the same thing on social media without allowing a certain kind of freedom of speech that is in disagreement with what we feel. But it is disagreement that produces culture! Amartya Sen said we are argumentative Indians. In the India we are in now, we are supposed to be agreementative Indians. We have to always agree with each other. And we have forgotten that consensus will never produce any philosophy." - Sumana Roy, author, 'Provincials; Postcards from the Peripheries' talks to Manjula Narayan about being a proud provincial, the difficulty of swimming against the current, bricolage as a literary device, the use of ossified jargon in academia, English literature departments forsaking beauty for the sociological approach, and the reductionism inherent in labelling writing.

The Nobel Laureate economist Amartya Sen has posed the question, ‘equality of what?' The value of equality depends on what standard is chosen. As ancient Greek thinkers recognized, equality can be deployed to exclude as well as to liberate, and its relationship to law and freedom needs to be interrogated.If equal social freedom is a product of isonomia—the equal application of laws to all—those laws need to be free of systematic bias and command public respect.This lecture was recorded by Melissa Lane on 7th March 2024 at Barnard's Inn Hall, LondonThe transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website:https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/greek-equalityGresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

Người ta thường gắn nạn đói với sự khan hiếm lương thực, do bị mất mùa hay lũ lụt, nói chung là do những thảm hoạ tự nhiên. Đối với Amartya Sen, chính những yếu tố kinh tế xã hội mới là yếu tố chính yếu. Nạn đói không phải là do khan hiếm lương thực mà là do sự bất bình đẳng trong việc tiếp cận thực phẩm, mà điều này lại phát sinh từ sự bất bình đẳng trong phân phối thu nhập. Cấu trúc chính trị đóng một vai trò then chốt. Ở những nơi mà báo chí bị buộc phải im lặng, và nhà nước không có trách nhiệm giải trình với người dân, nạn đói có thể đạt tới những tỷ lệ cao rất cao mà chính quyền vẫn không bị đặt thành vấn đề. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/vaticannews-vi/support

Described as “a brilliant history of economic ideas” by Amartya Sen, Aditya Balasubramanian's recent book Toward a Free Economy: Swatantra and Opposition Politics in Democratic India, shows how ideas of ‘free economy' emerged from communities in southern and western India as they embraced new forms of entrepreneurial activity, in opposition to the so-called ‘socialist planned economy' of Nehruvian India. ‘Free economy' became the rallying cry for the Swatantra (Freedom) Party, which rose and fell in 1960s India. Its project of opposition politics sought to create a viable conservative alternative to the dominant Indian National Congress and push India toward a two-party system. In this episode of BIC talks, author Aditya Balasubramanian is in conversation with Narayan Ramachandran. This discussion provides a perspective on the changing relationship between the state and markets and the evolution of democracy in India and help us better understand communities who have been disproportionately successful in the aftermath of liberalisation and shed light on the constructive role opposition has played in Indian society.

The landscape of development theory, measurement, and policy was transformed in 1990 with the publication of the first Human Development Report by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP). This report also introduced the Human Development Index, which is a summary measure of average achievement in 3 key dimensions of human development: life expectancy at birth, literacy and income. In 1981, Amartya Sen published a paper titled "Public action and the quality of life in developing countries", discussing global advancements in quality-of-life metrics such as longevity and literacy despite rising poverty in some areas. Sen highlighted the significant variance in progress among countries, examining how public policies influenced improvements in these indicators. His research on human capabilities, stressing the need for equitable opportunities and choices for everyone, also significantly contributed to the concept of human development. The noted Pakistani economist Mahbub ul Haq shared Sen's vision of focusing on human capabilities and well-being and moving beyond GDP in the pursuit of development.Haq also pioneered the practical application of the human development approach by introducing the Human Development Index. Both Sen and Haq were aided in this effort by Meghnad Desai, who taught economics from 1965 to 2003 at the London School of Economics, where he now holds the post of Professor Emeritus. Professor Desai has authored numerous books, the most recent being The Poverty of Political Economy: How Economics Abandoned the Poor (2022). He is also a member of the House of Lords of the United Kingdom. I recently had the pleasure of meeting Meghnad Desai at a conference in New Delhi, titled “Advancing Human Development in the Global South”. In this conversation, he highlights the shift in development metrics from traditional economic indicators to a more holistic approach that includes longevity, education, and income, explaining how this led to a transformative ranking system for countries and influenced international development policy. Our conversation took place outside the conference hall, on a chilly January day, amidst the hustle and bustle of traffic and fellow conference attendees. As I used my phone to record our discussion, you might find the sound quality less than ideal. However, I believe the insights shared by Meghnad Desai about the origins of the human development concept will more than compensate for any audio shortcomings.

Development implies not just growth over a significant period of time but also progressive changes in the structure of an economy. Many influential scholars have identified the crucial role of property rights and the importance of constraining the power of the state while others highlight the importance of political settlements, development clusters, and inclusive economic and political institutions.Shiping Tang is Fudan Distinguished Professor and Dr. Seaker Chan Chair Professor at the School of International Relations and Public Affairs at Fudan University, China. In his latest book, The Institutional Foundation of Economic Development: A systemic account of how institutions shape economic development, he argues that institutions play a pivotal role in shaping and influencing economic development through four key factors: possibility, incentive, capability, and opportunity. In addition, his framework encompasses six significant dimensions: political hierarchy, property rights, social mobility, redistribution, innovation protection, and equal opportunity. Sustained economic development, however, necessitates not only a robust institutional foundation but also strong state capacity and well-crafted socioeconomic policies.Key highlightsIntroduction – 00:24What is economic development? - 03:15The development-democracy linkage - 05:19Why established understandings of institutions are incomplete - 11:30The institutional foundations of economic development - 14:45The new development triangle - 21:02Explaining China's economic success - 25:40Power and influence of local leaders in China - 34:23Achieving sustained economic growth – 44:10  HostProfessor Dan Banik (@danbanik @GlobalDevPod)Apple Google Spotify YouTubeSubscribe: https://globaldevpod.substack.com/

This post outlines the capability approach to thinking about human welfare. I think that this approach, while very popular in international development, is neglected in EA. While the capability approach has problems, I think that it provides a better approach to thinking about improving human welfare than approaches based on measuring happiness or subjective wellbeing (SWB) or approaches based on preference satisfaction. Finally, even if you disagree that the capability approach is best, I think this post will be useful to you because it may clarify why many people and organizations in the international development or global health space take the positions that they do. I will be drawing heavily on the work of Amartya Sen, but I will often not be citing specific texts because I'm an academic and getting to write without careful citations is thrilling.Original article:https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/zy6jGPeFKHaoxKEfT/the-capability-approachNarrated for the Effective Altruism Forum by TYPE III AUDIO.Share feedback on this narration.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: The Capability Approach, published by ryancbriggs on January 13, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. This post outlines the capability approach to thinking about human welfare. I think that this approach, while very popular in international development, is neglected in EA. While the capability approach has problems, I think that it provides a better approach to thinking about improving human welfare than approaches based on measuring happiness or subjective wellbeing (SWB) or approaches based on preference satisfaction. Finally, even if you disagree that the capability approach is best, I think this post will be useful to you because it may clarify why many people and organizations in the international development or global health space take the positions that they do. I will be drawing heavily on the work of Amartya Sen, but I will often not be citing specific texts because I'm an academic and getting to write without careful citations is thrilling. This post will have four sections. First, I will describe the capability approach. Second, I will give some simple examples that illustrate why I think that aiming to maximize capabilities is the best way to do good for people. I'll frame these examples in opposition to other common approaches, but my goal here is mostly constructive and to argue for the capability approach rather than against maximizing, for example, SWB. Third, I will describe what I see as the largest downsides to the capability approach as well as possible responses to these downsides. Fourth and finally, I will explain my weakly-held theory that a lot of the ways that global health or international development organizations, including GiveWell, behave owes to the deep (but often unrecognized) influence of the capability approach on their thought. The capability approach The fundamental unit of the value in the capability approach is a functioning, which is anything that you can be or do. Eating is a functioning. Being an EA is a functioning. Other functionings include: being a doctor, running, practicing Judaism, sleeping, and being a parent. Capabilities are options to be or do a functioning. The goal of the capability approach is not to maximize the number of capabilities available to people, it is instead to maximize the number of sets of capabilities. The notion here is that if you maximized simply the number of capabilities then you might enable someone to be: a parent or employed outside the home. But someone might want to do both. If you're focusing on maximizing the number of sets of capabilities then you'll end up with: parent, employed, both parent and employed, and neither. The simple beauty of this setup is that it is aiming to maximize the options that people have available to them, from which they then select the group of functionings that they want most. This is why one great book about this approach is entitled “Development as Freedom.” The argument is that development is the process of expanding capabilities, or individual freedom to live the kind of life that you want. I will come to criticisms later on, but one thing people may note is that this approach will lead to a lot of sets of capabilities and we will need some way to rank them or condense the list. In theory, we would want to do this based on how much people value each capability set. I will discuss this issue in more detail in the third section. Examples of why I love the capability approach Here I'll lay out a few examples that show why I think the capability approach is the best way to think about improving human welfare. First, in opposition to preference-satisfaction approaches, the capability approach values options not taken. I think this accords with most of our intuitions, and that it takes real work for economics to train it out of people. Here are two examples...

Development is a gamble because success is not guaranteed when benefits materialize in the long-term and a host of factors may undermine elite positions. Some countries are able to settle on elite bargains that favour growth and development, and others are unable to reach such settlements.While elite bargains in China, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Rwanda and Ghana ended up being development bargains, the opposite was the case in Nigeria, DRC, Malawi and South Sudan. Stefan Dercon is Professor at the Blavatnik School of Government and the Economics Department at theUniversity of Oxford, where he also directs the Centre for the Study of African Economies.His latest book – Gambling on Development: Why some countries win and others lose– draws on his academic research and his policy experience across three decades.

A version of this essay was published by firstpost at https://www.firstpost.com/india/75-years-have-midnights-children-come-of-age-11093221.htmlIt is a bit of a coincidence that, just around the 75th anniversary of India gaining political independence from the British, Salman Rushdie should be in the news again, because he was stabbed in Chautauqua, a literary watering-hole in upstate New York. His book Midnight’s Children was, as is well known, a sensation when it first came out some forty years ago, in 1981.The central conceit in the book is that 100,000 children born all over India on or around midnight on August 15th, 1947, are endowed with magical powers. Their lives are an allegory for India’s progress. It is a picaresque romp centered around the protagonist, Saleem Sinai, who can telepathically connect with and organize them. When I first read the book, I was impressed by the verbal pyrotechnics, and more so the clever interweaving of contemporary events into the magical realism of the ‘children’s’ lives. The great human tragedies and triumphs of Bharat, that is India, are a rich mother-lode to mine for fiction, and another example is the re-telling of the Mahabharata by Shashi Tharoor in The Great Indian Novel. But over time, the book’s impact faded for me. Even though I didn’t pay attention to it on first reading it, now I see it as significant that Saleem Sinai’s principal rivals among the children are ‘Shiva’ and ‘Parvati-the-witch’. Interesting choice of names, wouldn’t you say? A bit like Deepa Mehta’s choice of Radha and Sita for Fire, which I criticized as dog-whistle Hindu-hatred at the time in The problem with Fire.Thank you for reading Shadow Warrior. This post is public so feel free to share it.Nevertheless, Rushdie’s and the book’s charm obviously did not fade for the Anglosphere, because it fit into their world-view of India, as an exotic, barbaric country where bizarre things happen. They awarded it a Booker Prize, and later a Booker of Bookers, basically dubbing it the best book to have been written in English in decades. Rushdie rode his new-found stardom to riches and influence, and became a sort of seer on all things related not only to India, but also literature in general. And he physically moved to the Anglosphere, all the better to suit his new status as an oracle. In this he trod a well-trodden path which, for example, Amartya Sen and V S Naipaul also followed. More on that by and by.If I am not mistaken, Rushdie’s output after Midnight’s Children is hit-and-miss. His only other work that gained fame (notoriety?) was The Satanic Verses, but that was for other reasons, not literary merit. Since I haven’t read that book, I have no particular opinion on it, and the politics is anyway complicated because of Shia-Sunni issues and internal Muslim issues of blasphemy. But I am now beginning to wonder if Rushdie is also a one-horse wonder, like Arundhati Roy. I have not read her The God of Small Things, but her trajectory has been similar to Rushdie’s: one hit, instant elevation to global stardom and a bully pulpit from which to spout all sorts of radical ideas. A pliant Anglo media piled on and lionized both, regardless of actual merit. Furthermore, I am struck by the parallels with Amartya Sen, who also parlayed fame from early works into global demi-god status, marriage into the Rothschild empire, and a Nobel Prize (although technically it is only the Swedish bank’s prize for economics). His theories about the ‘Kerala model’ of development turn out to be pure bunkum, but then who’s counting? Which reminds me, I suspect the always au courant Scandinavians will now award the Nobel Prize in Literature to Rushdie as a knee-jerk reaction to the stabbing, as they awarded the Peace Prize to Barack Obama basically because, he was, well…. black. Well, bully for Rushdie!That, of course, is pure speculation. But the comparison with Naipaul is interesting. Both made Britain their home, and both commented on India in less-than-flattering terms. Naipaul’s An Area of Darkness was fierce, disappointed, and condemnatory. But the difference is that Naipaul, over time, became convinced that India was on the rise. Rushdie, so far as I can tell, does not see any future for India, nor anything worth celebrating.Maybe that’s why I like Naipaul, because he agrees with my prejudices; but objectively speaking his writing has greater insight. Here’s an excerpt from Naipaul’s India Today article on the occasion of the 50th Independence Day. I think that within every kind of disorder now in India there is a larger positive movement. But the future will be fairly chaotic. Politics will have to be at the level of the people now. People like Nehru were colonial-style politicians. They were to a large extent created and protected by the colonial order. They did not begin with the people. Politicians now have to begin with the people. They cannot be too far above the level of the people. They are very much part of the people. The Nehrus of the world have to give way now to the men of the people...It is important, in this apparent mess, for two things not to be interfered with. One is economic growth. I would like to see that encouraged in every way. It is the most important news coming out of India, more important than the politics. I would like to see education extended and extended. If this were to happen, and I feel it might, gradually, the actual level of politics will reflect both the economic life and higher level of education.Rushdie doesn’t have that sympathy, nor the realization that there is something behind the chaos. Fair enough, he is entitled to his opinion. But the point at which I personally became annoyed with Rushdie was when he proclaimed (like Macaulay before him) that there is nothing worthwhile in modern Indian-language literature. I knew this to be false because there is proof of existence: I had read O V Vijayan, Thakazhi, S K Pottekkat, Basheer, Anand, and M Mukundan in Malayalam; Ashapurna Devi and Tarasankar Banerjee in translation from Bengali; S L Bhyrappa in Kannada and a host of other world-class writers. For Rushdie to blithely denigrate them all showed both arrogance and ignorance, typical of India’s ‘liberals’. In fact, it is India’s English-language output that is inferior and derivative. With the exception of a few tour-de-force works such as Vikram Seth’s Golden Gate and Amitav Ghosh’s The Shadow Lines, there’s nothing unique or noteworthy that will stand the test of time. Even Rushdie’s magical realism, I found out, pales before Vijayan’s 1960’s The Legends of Khasak with its shape-shifting odiyans and the disembodied flying oracular head of the ancient magician Kandath Nair; not to mention Gabriel Garcia Marquez’ 1970s English publication of One Hundred Years of Solitude.Thanks for reading Shadow Warrior!

The colonialists are dead and buried, and ordinary men are now taking India forward. With economic growth, everything comes your way; and yes, the education system still sucks, as it’s infested with English and anti-national woke leftism (alas, also derivative and unoriginal). A Rushdie, steeped in the groupthink of Lutyens and Khan Market, has simply failed to see this, which  may mean he lacks the empathy, understanding, and feelings the greatest writers possess. The children and grandchildren of ‘midnight’s children’, however, see this.And what of the real midnight’s children? Hat tip to @NAN_DINI:  they are honoring the flag. They believe. Now personally, I am a little ambivalent about the ‘fly the flag in every house’ request by Prime Minister Modi. Of course, in my neighborhood in leftist paradise Thiruvananthapuram, hardly anybody took up his clarion call. Besides, I feel a little queasy about the American kitsch of flag-waving jingoism. In addition, flying the national flag from temples bothers me. I believe in the separation of ‘church’ and state; and I honestly think the interference of politicians in temples is an abomination. But I guess this Magnificent Generation that suffered through fifty years of kakistocratic dynasty mis-governance (see my earlier piece The Nehruvian Penalty: 50 wasted years) deserves to be applauded because they still believe. I do, too, but maybe I am an old cynic. I am not as old as them, but I remember suffering through those awful years of PL-480 and war and shortages of everything. I left, but then I returned because I, too, do believe. Giving credit where it’s due, I applaud Rushdie for coming up with the vanity of ‘midnight’s children’ and giving it a lot of airplay. But I’m afraid they, and their children and grand-children, have left Rushdie behind. They have moved on. He hasn’t, like the rest of the Anglo-Mughlai elite. Rushdie, midnight’s child himself, stayed stuck in the past while the others moved ahead. And that can become an avalanche, an irresistible force, if all goes well.1470 words, 18 Aug 2022 This is a public episode.

Our identity is multifaceted, but people love the simplicity and tend to reduce people to a singular trait, which objectifies them. This reduction leads to violence, in part because it allows an "us vs them" narrative. Amartya Sen points out the ramifications in his book "Identity and Violence". To consider it personally, we look at Martin Buber's "I-thou" to show how most of the time we are in an "I-it" relationship to the world, and must "self-surrender" to have an "I-thou" whole relationship, and not objectify others. Ryder closes out with David Foster Wallace's "This Is Water" in which to be a better person we must be attuned and aware, even imaginative. Matthew Crawford counters that unfortunately, even Wallace remains stuck in his had manipulating mental models to relate to the world as a good person. The solution, says Crawford, is to take action in reality by engaging with others and the world. https://www.letusthinkaboutit.com/step-58-identity--violence/0:00 Intro3:56 Part 1: reductive Identity7:38 Part 2: I-it, I-thou11:57 Part 3: Mind Games17:09 Outro 

In conversation about his memoir 'Home in the World', economist Amartya Sen talks to Nobel Prize winner Abhijit Banerjee about growing up, coming to Kolkata from Santiniketan, politics, impatience. 

In the bestselling book – Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty (2012), Daron Acemoglu and James Robinson ask why some nations are rich and others poor, divided by wealth and poverty, health and sickness, food and famine. They claim that it is neither culture, weather, nor geography. Rather, they argue that economic success depends on man-made political and economic institutions. In their latest book, The Narrow Corridor: States, Societies, and the Fate of Liberty (2019), Daron and Jim show that liberal-democratic states exist in between the alternatives of lawlessness and authoritarianism. And while the state is needed to protect people from domination at the hands of others in society, the state can also become an instrument of violence and repression. Society's default condition is anarchy (or the "Absent Leviathan"). The alternatives to chaos are despotism (the "Despotic Leviathan"), the powerless state (the "Paper Leviathan"), and the "Shackled Leviathan" (or state which equals the corridor between the Absent, Paper, and Despotic Leviathans). Thus, liberty originates from a delicate balance of power between state and society.Daron Acemoglu is Institute Professor in the Department of Economics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Host:Professor Dan Banik, University of Oslo, Twitter: @danbanik  @GlobalDevPodApple Google Spotify YouTubehttps://in-pursuit-of-development.simplecast.com/

https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/justice-creep Freddie deBoer says we're a planet of cops. Maybe that's why justice is eating the world. Helping the poor becomes economic justice. If they're minorities, then it's racial justice, itself a subspecies of social justice. Saving the environment becomes environmental justice, except when it's about climate change in which case it's climate justice. Caring about young people is actually about fighting for intergenerational justice. The very laws of space and time are subject to spatial justice and temporal justice. I can't find clear evidence on Google Trends that use of these terms is increasing - I just feel like I've been hearing them more and more often. Nor can I find a simple story behind why - it's got to have something to do with Rawls, but I can't trace any of these back to specific Rawlsian philosophers. Some of it seems to have something to do with Amartya Sen, who I don't know enough about to have an opinion. But mostly it just seems to be the zeitgeist. This is mostly a semantic shift - instead of saying “we should help the poor”, you can say “we should pursue economic justice”. But different framings have slightly different implications and connotations, and it's worth examining what connotations all this justice talk has. “We should help the poor” mildly suggests a friendly optimistic picture of progress. We are helpers - good people who are nice to others because that's who we are. And the poor get helped - the world becomes a better place. Sometimes people go further: “We should save the poor” (or the whales, doesn't matter). That makes us saviors, a rather more impressive title than helpers. And at the end of it, people/whales/whatever are saved - we're one step closer to saving the world. Extrapolate the line out far enough, and you can dream of utopia.

Khanna offers a revolutionary roadmap to facing America's digital divide, offering greater economic prosperity to all. In Khanna's vision, “just as people can move to technology, technology can move to people. People need not be compelled to move from one place to another to reap the benefits offered by technological progress” (from the foreword by Amartya Sen, Nobel Laureate in Economics). Representative Khanna sits on the House Budget, Armed Services, and Oversight and Reform committees and is first vice chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. He also serves as an Assistant Whip in the Democratic Caucus. His Twitter handle is @RepRoKhanna. Finally, Brad is joined by his Executive Producer, Mark Grimaldi.

In global development, ideas have power and some ideas or concepts such as social capital, human development, the informal sector, and sustainable development have been highly influential. The development agenda also includes metaphors that can shape how we think and hence how we act. Professor Desmond James McNeill has worked extensively on issues related to global governance, aid, and sustainable development and on the links between research and policy. He was director of the Centre for Development and the Environment at the University of Oslo from 1992 to 2001. And from 2001 and until a couple of years ago, he was Head of Research, and Director of the Centre's Research School.Host:Professor Dan Banik, University of Oslo, Twitter: @danbanik  @GlobalDevPodhttps://in-pursuit-of-development.simplecast.com/

Dr. Sousan Abadian joins Amanda today to explore how trauma is weaved in our habits, families, culture and more. They discuss intergenerational trauma and directing attention toward healing and empowerment, rather than victim mindset. Dr. Sousan's bio: Dr. Sousan Abadian is currently a Fulbright Scholar and has been invited to go to Canada to help create curriculum on “indigenous ways of knowing” for the International Baccalaureate Program. She earned a Ph.D. in Political Economy and Government from Harvard University, an M.P.A. in International Development from Harvard's Kennedy School, and an M.A. in the Anthropology of Social Change and Development, also from Harvard University. Her earlier research on healing the effects of long-standing collective trauma and cultural damage, a key contributing factor in violence and impoverishment, was described by Nobel laureate in economics Amartya Sen as “pioneering” and “highly original.” She now teaches, speaks, and consults internationally on leadership, managing change processes, and her ARIA principles of creating new realities. She builds on her earlier work at Cambridge Leadership Associates facilitating workshops and speaking on Adaptive Leadership. Between June 2017 to June 2019, Dr. Abadian served as a Franklin Fellow at the U.S. State Department's Office of International Religious Freedom, Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor. Her portfolio included preventing violent extremism, gender-based violence, rights of religious minorities in the Middle East and South Asia, and restoration of people and cultures following atrocities. She has also served as a Fellow at M.I.T.'s Dalai Lama Center for Ethics and Transformative Values as well as at Harvard's Center for Public Leadership.
