Seeking Fortune in the Coffee Grinds

This is a webblog to keep track of SECD readings and links for the prelim exam started in 2008. One year later, I converted this to a Race and Ethnic Studies Prelim Materials clearinghouse in 2009. This is only meant for the 2008 and 2009 study group, not for being interpreted as any authoritative source on future exams or as a general guide to development theory or on racial and ethnic studies. Please do not link or share widely beyond its original intent.

Amartya Sen, Development as Freedom

http://www.amazon.com/Development-as-Freedom-Amartya-Sen/dp/0385720270/ref=tag_dpp_lp_edpp_img_in

In brief:
Freedom (as in political freedoms, or contextualized democratic freedoms) are necessary for "development".
