    Has anyone read the book "Development as Freedom" By Amartya Sen in their Studies? I am reading his book for a policy course that I have, and I find his theories to be quite interesting. Any Thoughts?

    Despite leo's provocative comment, I feel there's something left to be said. ;)
    If I could become an expert on any subject, the one that I would choose would be "global cultural evolution." Sen's book is not only about this sort of evolution, it is itself a display of global cultural evolution. I must quickly confess that I have not read this book. I have skimmed/looked at this book while wandering in bookstores. My current studies do not allow me to actually read books like this because they require too much time and effort. I expect that this book will become (if it has not already become) a classic in the study of economics. You may not agree with it but you will not be able to avoid this text if you are studying economics or associated fields.
