| Summary: | As evidenced in the title, this article presents a critical analysis of several proposals developed
by Amartya Sen. It makes two central critiques of Sens work; highlighting the absence of
arguments that take into account relationships of power, as well as the lack of an emphasis
on the relationship between the individual and society. At the same time, evidence will be
presented that Sens perspective is not an alternative to the dominant economic discourse,
neither in its analytic intent or its normative orientation. One can conclude that his proposals
are presented, more appropriately, as a sophisticated theory of the principles that presently
govern liberalism. Therefore, his formulations do not differ much from those that are
currently being implemented in the majority of countries. |
