Amartya Sen: The Capacity Approach and the Problem of Freedom and Development

Yavuz Yayla

Fiscaoeconomia, 2022, issue 1

Abstract: Increasing economic inequalities in each crisis period also causes an increase in the discussions on how a fair distribution in the economy should be. For this purpose, the views of thinkers who have made intellectual efforts on this subject are discussed again. One of these thinkers is Amartya Sen, an important economic philosopher and/or sociologist. In this study, we will examine the capacity approach developed by Amartya Sen and how he deals with the relationship between freedom and development.
