Thank you to whoever thought this lecture should be available online. Thank you for giving such a clear explanation of the theory. This lecture has re-energised my interest in my studies.
Equality of what?, 1979 Commodities and Capabilities, 1984 Inequality Re-examined, 1992 Quality of life (e. Martha Nussbaum), 1993 Development as freedom, 1999 The Idea of Justice, 2009 An Uncertain Glory (w. Jean Dreze), 2013
Dr. Amrtyo Sen is very humbly requested not to relocate himself. This will deprive his favorite Shantiniketan of often seeing and relishing him by his presence !
The restriction to not go outside definitely had a negative impact on mental health etc. This negative effect was balanced against more important freedoms such as "not contracting COVID", or "stopping COVID". So the approach is still valid.
I am disappointed to hear the ubiquitous, blithe and toxic false assumption of the one Earth. Our civilization is poised at the brink of outward expansion off world, and entry into the age of post scarcity. Might that have bearing upon capability and what people at all in the know might therefore value as important?
Useless concept, a tautology. What is new in this jargon. If someone has enough money he can have everything. This is known to a child as well. Sen has nothing new to offer, he is just playing with words.
If a poor illiterate, uneducated 50 year old woman 👵🏽 with a history of poor health - living in an oppressive patriarchal society - suddenly became a $ billionaire - would she have capabilities to flourish?

42:15 This did not age well in 2020... So we should have the freedom to go outside even though it is against public health?
The restriction to not go outside definitely had a negative impact on mental health etc. This negative effect was balanced against more important freedoms such as "not contracting COVID", or "stopping COVID". So the approach is still valid.
I wish had seen this before submitting my thesis... my reference to and use of the approach was apparently very poor and misleading....
Well explanation of the great philosophical work
perfect
