Inequality Reexamined by Nobel laureate Amartya Sen offers a profound critique of traditional views on inequality, advocating for a broader perspective that includes capabilities and opportunities. Sen challenges conventional metrics like income or utility, proposing instead the "capability approach," which emphasizes individuals' real freedoms to achieve valued ways of living. He argues that true equality should focus on what people are able to do and be, considering factors such as health, education, and participation in society. By addressing the question "equality of what?", Sen shifts the discourse towards a more comprehensive understanding of human development and social justice.
