"
In my life as an academic, I have developed a great respect for the ideas of the Nobel Prize winning economist Amartya Sen. One of Professor
Sen's more influential books is called "Development as Freedom," and I
believe he used the word "development" in two ways: to refer to economic
growth and prosperity, but also to refer to personal growth and
well-being.We "develop" as individuals and citizens when we have the freedom to choose the life we value.
