Ultimately, imperialism made even the British working classes suffer. This is a point which the British working classes found quite difficult to swallow, but they did, actually.

More quotes by Amartya Sen
Human development, as an approach, is concerned with what I take to be the basic development idea: namely, advancing the richness of human life, rather than the richness of the economy in which human beings live, which is only a part of it.
Amartya Sen
I believe that virtually all the problems in the world come from inequality of one kind or another.
Amartya Sen
To say that the whole of the industrial experience of Europe and America just shows the rewards of exploiting the Third World is a gross simplification.
Amartya Sen
It was incredible to me that members of one community could kill members of another not for anything personal that they did but simply based on their identity.
Amartya Sen
Starvation is the characteristic of some people not having enough food to eat. It is not the characteristic of there being not enough food to eat.
Amartya Sen
We live in a world community, and economic contact has partly contributed to that. Its also the case that economic opportunity opened up by economic contact has helped to a great extent to reduce poverty in many parts of the world.
Amartya Sen
Poverty is not just a lack of money it is not having the capability to realize one's full potential as a human being
Amartya Sen
From the mid-1970s, I also started work on the causation and prevention of famines.
Amartya Sen
I was born in a University campus and seem to have lived all my life in one campus or another.
Amartya Sen
The market economy succeeds not because some people's interests are suppressed and other people are kept out of the market, but because people gain individual advantage from it.
Amartya Sen
Poverty is the deprivation of opportunity.
Amartya Sen
The notion of human right builds on our shared humanity. These rights are not derived from the citizenship of any country, or the membership of any nation, but are presumed to be claims or entitlements of every human being. They differ, therefore, from constitutionally created rights guaranteed for specific people.
Amartya Sen
The lack of economic freedom could be a very major reason for loss of liberty, liberty of life.
Amartya Sen
Gender inequality is not one problem, it's a collection of problems.
Amartya Sen
We might have reason to be driven! We live for a short stretch of time in a world we share with others. Virtually everything we do is dependent on others, from the arts and culture to farmers who grow the food we eat.
Amartya Sen
I attempted to see famines as broad economic problems (concentrating on how people can buy food, or otherwise get entitled to it), rather than in terms of the grossly undifferentiated picture of aggregate food supply for the economy as a whole.
Amartya Sen
I'm generally in favor of economic globalization. Having said that, it doesnt always work and does not immediately work in the interest of all. There are sufferers.
Amartya Sen
We live in a world where there is a need for pluralistic institutions and for recognizing different types of freedom, economic, social, cultural, and political, which are interrelated.
Amartya Sen
Human ordeals thrive on ignorance. To understand a problem with clarity is already half way towards solving it.
Amartya Sen
Across the world, in Africa, Asia, Latin America, everywhere, there is a widespread recognition on the part of the parents, too, that the children's life will go much better by being educated. And that applies to girls as well as boys.
