The Capability Approach: Concepts, Measures and Applications edited by Flavio Comim, Mozaffar Qizilbash, and Sabina Alkire explores the influential capability approach developed by Amartya Sen. The volume brings together essays that clarify the conceptual foundations of the capability approach, discuss ways to measure and compare capabilities (particularly in relation to poverty and justice), and highlight applications in various contexts including social policy, inequality, and human development. It’s a key resource for researchers and graduate students interested in development economics and social justice.
