Abstract(s)
The capability approach to human development, proposed by Amartya
Sen and others, is now a prominent perspective within welfare economics and
development economics. I argue that the capability approach, like Post Keynesianism,
can be situated within the Cambridge economic tradition, a tradition
grounded on classical economics, and characterized by an ontological focus on
themes such as openness and uncertainty, and by a common social philosophy.
Furthermore, I argue that the capability approach and Post Keynesianism can
be seen as complementary and mutually enriching approaches.
