"Fascinating. . . . The overall argument [is] eloquent and
probing." --The New York Times
"A new approach . . . refreshing, thoughtful, and human. Sen's
optimism and no-nonsense proposals leave one feeling that perhaps
there is a solution." --Business Week
"The . . . perspective that Mr. Sen describes and advocates has
great attractions. Chief among them is that, by cutting
through the sterile debate for or against the market, it makes it
easier to ask sharper questions about public policy." --The
Economist
