Development reflections: Armatya Sen

'Development should be about enrichment of human life, not necessarily through more material products, but rather having the freedom to choose between different ways of living'. Sen 1990.

In viewing development as 'vision' rather than an historical process or physical intervention Sen offers an ideal. The real question is 'how is it to be realised and who decides on the ideal'?
