Frases Amartya Sen

„"La libertad de llevar diferentes tipos de vida se refleja en el conjunto de las combinaciones alternativas de funcionamientos entre los cuales una persona puede elegir, ésta puede ser definida como la "capacidad" de una persona. La capacidad de una persona depende de una variedad de factores, incluidas sus características personales y varios aspectos de la organización social. Un compromiso social para la libertad del individuo debe implicar que se de importancia al objetivo de aumentar la capacidad que diferentes personas poseen efectivamente y la elección entre diferentes sistemas de organización social debe responder a su aptitud para promover las capacidades humanas. Una comprensión auténtica de la libertad individual debe ir más allá de las capacidades relacionadas con la vida privada, y debe prestar atención a otros objetivos de la persona, como ciertos fines sociales no relacionados directamente con la vida del individuo, aumentar las capacidades humanas debe constituir una parte importante de la promoción de la libertad individual.“

Idea

„El intercambio entre culturas diferentes no puede ser visto como una amenaza, cuando es algo amigable. Pero creo que la insatisfacción con la arquitectura general a menudo depende de la calidad del liderazgo.“

De fe

„Aunque el capitalismo es, en principio, fuertemente individualista, ha contribuido en la práctica a reforzar la tendencia a la integración, ya que ha hecho nuestras vidas cada vez más interdependientes. Por otra parte, el bienestar económico sin precedentes que ha producido en las economías modernas hizo que pudieran aceptarse obligaciones sociales que anteriormente nadie hubiera podido "permitirse.“

„[La globalización] ha enriquecido el mundo en sentido científico y cultural, y también ha beneficiado económicamente a muchas personas.“

— Amartya Sen

De mundo, Sentido

„De hecho, en la terrible historia de las hambrunas mundiales es difícil encontrar un caso en el que haya habido hambruna en un país con una prensa libre y una oposición activa dentro de un marco institucional democrático. […] La libertad negativa de la prensa y los partidos de la oposición para criticar, escribir y organizar la protesta puede ser muy eficaz en la protección de la libertad positiva elemental de la población más vulnerable.“

„… cuando se trata de determinar cómo puede avanzar la justicia, hay una necesidad básica de razonamiento público, que involucra argumentos procedentes de diferentes sectores y de puntos de vista divergentes. Un compromiso con los argumentos contrarios no implica, sin embargo, que debamos esperar ser capaces de resolver los motivos de conflicto en todos los casos y llegar a una posición consensuada en todas las cuestiones.“

De fe, De justicia, De gente

„Aunque las economías socialistas, entre ellas las dirigidas por partidos comunistas en varias partes del mundo, han sido afectadas por los problemas económicos y políticos (incluyendo la opresión), las metas y los objetivos que previamente han atraído a la gente hacia el socialismo siguen siendo todavía importantes como lo eran hace cincuenta años. Los conceptos de justicia social también están constantemente renaciendo después de haber sido debilitados por las dificultades encontradas en la ejecución de diversos proyectos.“

„If a theory of justice is to guide reasoned choice of policies, strategies or institutions, then the identification of fully just social arrangements is neither necessary nor sufficient.“

— Amartya Sen

„The Passions and the Interests does not have the policy urgency that a contribution to public decisions may enjoy (as Hirschman's The Strategy of Economic Development eminently does), nor the compulsive immediacy that the exigencies of practical reason generate (as Exit, Voice, and Loyalty superbly portrayed). What then is so special about this book? […] The answer lies not only in the recognition that Hirschman makes us see the ideological foundations of capitalism in a fresh way, but also in the remarkable fact that this freshness is derived from ideas that are more than two-hundred-years old. The basic hypothesis— the articulation and development of which Hirschman investigates—makes the case for capitalism rest on the belief that "it would activate some benign human proclivities at the expense of some malignant ones."“

„I personally have great skepticism about the theories extolling the wonders of "Asian values." They are often based on badly researched generalizations and frequently uttered by governmental spokesmen countering accusations of authoritarianism and violations of human rights (as happened spectacularly at the World Conference on Human Rights in Vienna in 1993).“

1990s, Foreword to The Passions and the Interests (1996)

„I am not persuaded that Hayek got the substantive connections entirely right. He was too captivated by the enabling effects of the market system on human freedoms and tended to downplay - though he never fully ignored - the lack of freedom for some that may result from a complete reliance on the market system, with its exclusions and imperfections, and the social effects of big disparities in the ownership of assets. But it would be hard to deny Hayek's immense contribution to our understanding of the importance of judging institutions by the criterion of freedom.“

„Even when altruism is allowed (as, for example, in Gary Becker's model of rational allocation), it is assumed that the altruistic actions are undertaken because they promote each person's own interests; there are personal gains to the altruist's own welfare, thanks to sympathy for others. No role is given to any sense of commitment about behaving well or to pursuing some selfless objective. All this leaves out, on the one hand, the evil passions that early theorists of capitalism contrasted with self-interest and, on the other, the social commitments that Kant analyzed in The Critique of Practical Reason and that Adam Smith discussed in The Theory of Moral Sentiments.“

1990s, Foreword to The Passions and the Interests (1996)

„The behavioral foundations of capitalism do, of course, continue to engage attention, and the pursuit of self-interest still occupies a central position in theories about the workings and successes of capitalism. But in these recent theories, interests are given a rather different—and much more "positive"—role in promoting efficient allocation of resources through informational economy as well as the smooth working of incentives, rather than the negative role of blocking harmful passions.“

„Our debt to Hayek is very substantial. He helped to establish a freedom-based approach of evaluation through which economic systems can be judged (no matter what substantive judgments we arrive at). He pointed to the importance of identifying those services that the state can perform well and has a social duty to undertake. Finally, he showed why administrative psychology and propensities to corruptibility have to be considered in determining how states can, or cannot, work and how the world can, or cannot, be run.“

„Smith had no illusion that this would be easy to do, nor did he suffer from the delusion that such an exercise would, in any sense, be perfect. But he did have the conviction that the exercise could still be very useful, and the best should not be made into an enemy of the good.“
