Chapter Chapter 5 in Multidimensional Well-Being, Deprivation and Inequality, 2024, pp 75-86 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter argues that the conception of an individual’s freedom as the freedom to choose any functioning bundle from the set of all the functioning bundles, which are feasible for her, is problematic in a world of interdependence where an individual’s achieved functioning bundle is determined by the individual’s own action as well as by the actions of other individuals.
