- "Economics with a Moral Compass? Welfare Economics: Past, Present and Future"
Angus Deaton in Conversation with Amartya Sen
Overview:
Many believe that economics and economists have an important role to play in creating better societies. The bedrock of the economic approach is the field of welfare economics which studies how to conceptualize and measure welfare with a view to designing better policies and institutions. It also allows ethics and economics to speak to each other. Yet, normative aspects of economics are sometimes dismissed as less scientific and therefore marginal to the discipline. And this is blamed, for example, for blinding economists to concerns about poverty and inequality. This conversation will focus on bringing ethical issues into economics, and the implications that this has for the practice and teaching of economics.

Angus Deaton, Senior Scholar and the Dwight D. Eisenhower Professor of Economics and International Affairs Emeritus, Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School

Watching in Brazil, these men are Giants in Economics literature
They really are, aren't they. Watching from India.
Very lively conversation.
Clearly didn't understand a single word he said in economics but heard his every succinct pronunciation of English words
Interesting talk. But Mr Sen should restrict his opinions to the Economy and not how the Indian populace should vote and which party they should vote in/out. He is entitled to an opinion, but not to second-guessing or influencing the election results.
You think you wield power over Amartya Sen? What a fool. Ignorant too, for the word economy (oikonomia) literally means householding.
Dr Sen, is a Indian citizen, so he has every right.
You want to take away all the political freedom of Indian citizens and give it to those regressive idiots of Gujrati gang??? Or want to sale India to Ambani and Adani???)
