Jean Dréze Libri
Il lavoro di Jean Drèze si concentra sullo sviluppo sociale ed economico, con un focus particolare sull'India. I suoi scritti approfondiscono temi come la povertà, la carestia, l'istruzione e l'azione pubblica. L'approccio di Drèze è caratterizzato da una ricerca rigorosa unita a un forte impulso per il cambiamento sociale. Le sue pubblicazioni esplorano frequentemente le intricate connessioni tra istituzioni, politiche e le vite delle popolazioni vulnerabili, illuminando percorsi verso una società più equa.
Examining the problem of hunger in the modern world and the role public opinion might play in combating it, Drèze and Sen here provide a coherent perspective on the complex nutritional, economic, social, and political issues involved in the analysis of hunger. They explore famine prevention through a series of case studies in Africa and elsewhere, and discuss the problem of chronic undernourishment. Sen was awarded the second Agnelli Prize for the Ethical Dimension in Advanced Societies in March 1990 in recognition of his outstanding contribution to the understanding of the ethical dimension in modern society.

"'All purity is created by resemblance and disavowal.' With this sentence as a starting point, four authors each write a novella considering the concept of purity, all from astonishingly different angles. Jean Marc Ah-Sen writes about love blooming between two writers belonging to feuding literary movements. Emily Anglin explores an architect's search for her twin at a rural historic house. Devon Code documents the Wittgensteinian upheavals of the last days of an elderly woman. And Lee Henderson imagines Dada artist Kurt Schwitters finding unlikely inspiration in a Second World War internment camp in northern Norway. These four virtuoso pieces, like four suites of music, are a celebration of stylistic variation through literary consonance."-- Provided by publisher
