On Ethics and Economics
In this elegant critique, Amartya Sen argues that welfare economics can be enriched by paying more explicit attention to ethics, and that modern ethical studies can also benefit from a closer contact with economies. He argues further that even predictive and descriptive economics can be helped by making more room for welfare-economic considerations in the explanation of be...more

Dari Pasar Bebas ke Etika
Ilmu ekonomi termasuk ilmu yang berusia cukup tua. Aristoteles, seorang filsuf Yunani Kuno, mendefinisikan ilmu ekonomi sebagai ilmu tentang pengaturan rumah tangga (oikonomia, dari oikos dan nomos). Akan tetapi sejarah perkembangan manusia hingga memasuki milenium ketiga ini masih banyak diselimuti oleh berbagai fakta kegagalan ilmu ekonomi terutama dalam mengatasi kemiskinan, kelaparan, ketertindasan, kesenjangan, dan sebaga...more

Inter alia (tra l'altro) per nulla facile, ma cogliendone anche un 10% è comunque illuminante

I've had to read the book several times to start grasping the meaning of the ideas exposed within. There are still more times that this book will need to be re-read, but I think the author demonstrates a clear and witty insight into the science of economics.
A bit too technical for me, but the ideas are great.
While it is pretty dense reading, Sen puts forth a lot of ideas to change the focus of current economics. I was most interested in his expansive (and persuasive) argument that people are more than self-interested beings, and economic analysis as such is limiting.
