Quote by Sen, Amartya
"We must distinguish between being poor and being denied the capability to achieve a decent life."
More from Sen, Amartya
"Freedom is a triadic relation - freedom of agency, freedom of well-being, and freedom as a capability to achieve functionings that one values."
"Development can be seen as a process of expanding the real freedoms that people enjoy."
"The capability approach focuses on what people are able to do and be, not just what they have."
"Poverty is the deprivation of basic capabilities, not merely having inadequate income."
