Thanks for posting this. Sen is my favorite living academc economist. I rarely read anything by him now that I'm not in school. Both Sen and Bhagwattie explain economics in clear and occasionally enjoyable prose, I miss having to read their writing. I wonder why India has turned out not just so many fine economist but a few who are immensely talented and able to write clearly for laymen. Might be the influence of the socialist Bengali economist, or maybe just happenstance.

I wish fellow Nobel winner Paul Krugman wrote with half of Sen's focus on economic theory instead of the meally mouth partisan murrmurs he does spin.
