Sen argues that economic development should expand \"valuable\" freedoms. Alkire probes how we identify what is valuable. Foundational issues are addressed critically--dimensions of development, practical reason, culture, basic needs--drawing on Thomist authors who give central place to authentic participation. A participatory procedure for identifying capability change is then developed. Case studies of three Oxfam activities in Pakistan--goat-rearing, female literacy, and rose cultivation--illustrate this novel approach.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51669283897632,"sku":"NEW0199283311","price":78.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/51sTO-VaOWL.jpg?v=1779045417","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/valuing-freedoms-sens-capability-approach-and-poverty-reduction-queen-elizabeth-house-series-in-development-studies-0199283311","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
