dc.description.abstractThe book introduces key concepts of the human development and capability approach. It offers new perspectives on a wide range of topics, which include the conceptualization and measurement of well-being and inequality; the role of markets and economic growth in promoting development; the importance of democracy and public debate; culture and religion; health; equality and justice; and the connections between social and economic policy in addressing poverty and inequality. A set of questions accompanies each chapter for seminar discussion to help readers assimilate central points and apply the approach to diverse realities.en
