| Professional Reviews | <b><i>Atlantic Monthly</i>:</b> "In [this book], Sen, who discusses the virtues of the Buddhist 'middle path,' applies this view to the topic of economic development. It is a needed, if daunting, endeavor....[Sen's] book exudes a refreshing reasonableness and a willingness to acknowledge rival points of view....[F]or all the differences, and for all that remains incomplete, development is today a changed game....DEVELOPMENT AS FREEDOM, which showcases the change, is also a tactical manual for how it was achieved." |
