`a distinguished contribution to normative economics' Journal of
Economic Literature
`The ground is laid out with precision ... he is certainly a master
of his craft.' Times Literary Supplement
`this book is not a work of political theory, and it does not start
from the political questions that themselves create the demand for
an understanding of equality. Sen is both an economist and a moral
philosopher, but he approaches the problems of equality by a route
that runs from economic theory ... Sen's acute analysis and his
remarkable powers of making subtle and relevant distinctions
combine with his astonishing range of information to make
instruments suitable for immediate political application ...
compelling and elegantly argued book.'
London Review of Books
`important issue, then, as Sen has helpfully insisted over many
years, is not whether we are in favour of equality, but rather:
equality of what? ... Sen is both an economists and a moral
philosopher, but he approaches the problems of equality by a route
than runs from economic theory ... Sen's acute analysis and his
remarkable powers of making subtle and relevant distinctions
combine with his astonishing range of information to make
instruments suitable
for immediate political application ... compelling and elegantly
argued book'
