The ideas that the quality of life people enjoy in a country, the opportunities they have and freedoms they enjoy are important aspects of development now and the works of Mahbub-ul-Haq and Amartya Sen are important in this regard.

  •  According to Haq-development in all about enlarging people’s choices in order to lead long, healthy lives with dignity. The basic goal of development is to create conditions where people can live meaningful lives
  • Prof.Amartya Sen saw an increase in freedom or decrease in unfreedom as the main objective of dvelpment.
  • The works of these economist are path breaking and have succeeded in bringing people to the centre of any discussion on development.
