The SPaMCAST 854  features an essay on the linkage of accountability, responsibility, performance, and freedom. In our ongoing Re-read Saturday series featuring Amartya Sen's "Development As Freedom," we've found a compelling connection between Sen's insights and this week's discussion on personal accountability and performance. Specifically, Chapter 12's exploration of the interdependence between freedom and responsibility resonates deeply with the core concepts of our essay.

We also have a visit from Susan Parente. In this installment of Not A Scumdamentalist, we discuss accountability.

Mastering Work Intake sponsors SPaMCAST!

Look at your to-do list and tell me your work intake process is perfectly balanced. Whether you are reacting to your work or personal backlog, it's time to learn to take control!

Re-read Saturday News

The fun part of reading and then rereading a book is knowing what is to come in Development as Freedom by Amartya Sen. I am jumping to Chapter 11 for a reason that will be readily apparent. We will slide back into the order of the book next week unless real life suggests we change the order again.  

Sen opens this chapter by stating, “Aristotle agreed with Agathon that even God could not change the past.” We go deep after that!

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

Week 8: The Importance of Democracy

Week 9: Social Choice and Individual Behaviour
