Wellbeing, Justice And Development Ethics (The Routledge Human Development And Capability Debates)

This book introduces in an accessible way the capability approach, first articulated by Amartya Sen in the early 1980s. Written for an international audience, but rooted in the Latin American reality - a region with a history of movements for social justice - the book argues that the capability approach provides to date, the most encompassing and compelling ethical framework with which to construct action for improving people's wellbeing and reducing injustices in the world.
