Amartya
Sen of India, winner of the 1998 Nobel Prize for Economic
Science, brought a new dimension to the field of economics,
a “critical conscience,” according to one of his
peers. The Indian society in which he grew up, a hub of
contrasts, forged his breadth of character as an adult
and influenced his work. His universalist approach makes
him open to the heterogeneity of the world and of knowledge.
