Source text - English In his landmark book, Development as Freedom, Nobel Laureate Amartya Sen argues that the goal of any development policies should be to secure human freedom. Sen writes, “the expansion of human freedom should be both viewed as the primary end and the principle means of development.” His thesis shifts radically from the development agendas of the neo-liberal practices that are adopted by most of the nations today. The focus of the neo-liberal development policies is on what they refer to as rapid ‘economic growth,’ which empowers and enriches minor sections of the society, leaving behind a huge population in poverty. One constant distress of such development policies is the massive income gap between the rich and the poor, which in turn causes all kinds of social, political and psychological instabilities, often threatening the integrity of a nation. As economist Joseph Stiglitz said, “inequality leads to lower growth and less efficiency. Lack of opportunity means that its most valuable asset – its people – is not being fully used.” Sen, therefore, is one of those rare economists, who put the notion of justice and fairness in the centre of economic development.
Translation - Korean 노벨 경제상 수상자 아마르티아 센은 자신의 대표 저서인 『자유로서의 발전』이라는 책에서 인간의 자유를 보호하는 것이 모든 개발 정책의 목표가 되어야 한다고 주장하고 있다. 센은 “인간 자유의 신장을 발전의 주된 목적이자 기본 수단이라고 봐야 한다”고 적고 있다. 이러한 논지는 오늘날 대부분의 국가가 받아들이고 있는 신자유주의의 관행에 바탕을 둔 발전에 대한 의제들과는 근본적인 차이를 보인다. 신자유주의 발전 정책은 일명 빠른 “경제 성장” 에 중점을 두는데, 이 같은 급속한 경제 성장은 사회의 일부분에 힘을 부여하고 부를 가져다주지만, 막대한 인구를 가난에 내버려 둔다. 이러한 개발 정책에서 오는 끊임없는 고통 중 한 가지가 바로 빈부 간의 큰 소득격차이며, 빈부격차로 인해 각종 사회적, 정치적 그리고 심리적 불안정이 발생하여 국가의 통합을 종종 위협하고 있는 실정이다. 경제학자인 조셉 스티글리츠는 “불평등은 저성장과 비효율을 초래한다. 기회가 결여된다는 것은 국가의 가장 소중한 자산, 즉 국민들이 충분히 활용되지 않고 있다는 것을 의미한다”고 말했다. 이처럼 센은 정의와 공정성이라는 개념을 경제발전의 중심에 두는 흔치 않은 경제학자 중 한 명이다.
