Re-read Saturday News

Chapter Five of Development as Freedom begins with a phenomenal quote by Huxley from Science and Culture “It is the customary fate of new truths to begin as heresies and to end as superstitions.” Several years ago (2008, The Center Will Not Hold) I wrote an essay suggesting that radical ideas, like agile, begin at the fringes and then assimilate into the center. I wish I had run across this quote that highlights the life cycle of ideas. Speaking of heresies and superstitions, Sen reviews the impact of capitalist markets on freedom and development in Chapter 5 of Development as Freedom

Previous installments of Development as Freedom by Amartya Sen:

Week 1: Context and Logistics

Week 2: Introduction and Preface

Week 3: The Perspective of Freedom

Week 4: The Ends and the Means of Development

Week 5: Freedom and the Foundations of Justice

Week 6: Poverty as Capability Deprivation

Week 7: Markets, State, and Social Opportunity

Next SPaMCAST 

The SPaMCAST 854 will feature our essay on the need for personal accountability and performance. What are you accountable for?

We will also have a visit from Susan Parente who will bring her Not A Scumdamentalist column to the podcast.
