Human Development and the Path to Freedom : 1870 to the Present Hardback
by Leandro (Universidad Carlos III de Madrid) Prados de la Escosura
Part of the New Approaches to Economic and Social History series
Hardback
Description
How has human development evolved during the last 150 years of globalization and economic growth?
How has human development been distributed across countries?
How do developing countries compare to developed countries?
Do social systems matter for wellbeing? Are there differences in the performance of developing regions over time?
Employing a capabilities approach, Human Development and the Path to Freedom addresses these key questions in the context of modern economic growth and globalization from c.1870 to the present.
Leandro Prados de la Escosura shows that health, access to knowledge, standards of living, and civil and political freedom can substitute for GDP per head as more accurate measures of our wellbeing.
