This book is collection of research papers on economic thoughts of Amartya Sen. The works of Amartya Sen cover a very vast temporal and spatial canvas. He has made several key contributions to research in this field. Heavily influenced by John Rawls he is known for his work on famine human development theory the economic well being and the underlying mechanisms of poverty.
Amartya Sen has been a ground breaker among late twentieth century economists for his instance on discussing issues seen as marginal by most economists. The book is expected to encourage discussion and research on the matter and will be useful for the academia. (jacket)
