認識阿瑪蒂亞·森,1998年諾貝爾經濟學獎得主,一位讓經濟學重新關心人的偉大思想家。九歲那年,他親眼目睹孟加拉大饑荒的悲劇,這個經歷成為他一生研究的起點。森提出的「能力方法」徹底改變了我們對發展的理解——真正的發展不是GDP成長,而是擴展人的自由與能力,讓每個人都能實現潛能。
他用數據揭露「失蹤的女性」,讓全球正視性別不平等問題。他的饑荒研究發現民主國家很少發生饑荒,因為言論自由和媒體監督能及時回應災難。從劍橋到哈佛,從印度到全球,森的思想影響了聯合國人類發展指數的制定,改變了各國的政策方向。
在這個充滿挑戰的時代,森提醒我們:經濟學的目的不是冰冷的數字,而是讓人活得更有尊嚴、更自由、更幸福。讓我們一起認識這位橫跨經濟學與哲學、連接理論與實踐的思想巨人,理解他如何用知識改變世界,用思想帶來希望。
Meet Amartya Sen, the 1998 Nobel Prize winner in Economics who made economics care about people again. At age nine, he witnessed the tragic Bengal Famine of 1943, an experience that shaped his lifelong research. Sen's capability approach revolutionized how we understand development, showing that true progress isn't about GDP growth but about expanding human freedoms and capabilities so everyone can realize their potential.
His groundbreaking research revealed the phenomenon of missing women, exposing severe gender inequality through data. His famine studies showed that democratic countries rarely experience famines because freedom of speech and media oversight enable timely disaster response. From Cambridge to Harvard, from India to the world, Sen's ideas influenced the United Nations Human Development Index and shaped policies globally.
In our challenging times, Sen reminds us that economics should not be about cold numbers but about helping people live with dignity, freedom, and happiness. Join us to learn about this intellectual giant who bridges economics and philosophy, theory and practice, and discover how he used knowledge to change the world and brought hope through ideas.
