Abstract

Her kriz döneminde artan ekonomik eşitsizlikler ekonomide hakkaniyetli bir bölüşümün nasıl olması gerektiği üzerine yapılan tartışmaların artmasına da neden olmaktadır. Bu amaçla da bu konuda düşünsel çaba harcayan düşünürlerin görüşleri tekrar ele alınmaktadır. Bu düşünürlerden birisi de önemli bir iktisat felsefecisi ve/ya sosyoloğu olan Amartya Sen'dir. Biz bu çalışmada Amartya Sen'in geliştirdiği kapasite yaklaşımı ile özgürlükle kalkınma arasındaki ilişkiyi nasıl ele aldığını irdeleyeceğiz.

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

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.
