English

Subject field(s)
  • Economic and Industrial Sociology
  • Environment
DEF

Increasing the capacity to meet human needs and improve the quality of human life.

CONT

Development consists in enhancing the quality of human life and increasing the substantive freedoms we enjoy, and therefore freedom is constructive in development(that is, the process of development is the process of making our freedoms larger). But, in addition, freedom of one kind tends to facilitate freedoms of other kinds. For example, economic opportunities, political liberties and social facilities strengthen each other, in addition to each being directly important in increasing the individuals’ freedoms.
