Amartya Sen Quotes About Economy

• El desarrollo humano, como enfoque, se ocupa de lo que considero la idea básica del desarrollo: a saber, avanzar en la riqueza de la vida humana, más que en la riqueza de la economía en la que viven los seres humanos, que es sólo una parte de ella.

In 20 years' time, they had transformed themselves. So when people go on saying that it's all because of perennial culture, which you cannot change, that's not the way the South Korean economy was viewed before the war ended. But again within 30 years, people went on saying there's an ancient culture in Korea that has been pro-education, which is true.
