Amartya Kumar Sen
Amartya Sen se narodil v roce 1933 v indickém Bengalu, ve skromné rodině vzdělanců. Otec profesora Sena, Asutosh Sen, který zemřel v roce 1971, znalec v oboru zemědělství, se stal předsedou výboru Unie veřejných služeb. Již od malička se Amartya Sen zajímal o ekonomii. Velký vliv na něho měli tragické události v tehdejší společnosti, které si vyžádaly životy mnoha chudých lidí v rodné Indii, na základě těchto zkušeností začal přemýšlet o ekonomickém blahobytu.
Své počáteční vzdělání získal Amartya Sen v Santiniketan, později studoval na Presidency College v Calcutta. V letech 1963 až 1971 působil jako profesor na Delhi School of Economics, kde je stále čestným profesorem.
Profesor Sen byl třikrát ženatý, má dvě dcery, z nichž se jedna stala dobře známou žurnalistkou. V současné době působí na vedoucím místě cambridžské Trinity College.
Téměř ve všech pracích se Amartya Sen zabývá rozvojovými zeměmi a jejich problémy z ekonomického i filozofického hlediska. Amartya Sen objasnil předpoklady, za nichž lze agregovat individuální hodnoty do kolektivních rozhodnutí a stanovil pravidla tohoto rozhodování tak, aby bylo v souladu s právy jednotlivce. Posílil teoretické základy pro srovnání odlišného rozdělení bohatství ve společnosti a definování nových, mnohem více uspokojivých indexů chudoby. Senův teoretický přístup nám umožnil lépe porozumět ekonomickým mechanismům způsobujícím chudobu.
K napravení některých nedostatků běžného měřítka chudoby navrhl Sen zkonstruovat index chudoby, který bere v úvahu jak míru nerovnosti vyjádřenou Giniho koeficientem, tak rozdělení důchodu. Oba ukazatelé jsou počítány pouze pro jedince nacházejícího se pod hranicí chudoby. S ohledem na své dřívější analýzy bohatství jednotlivců Sen vysvětlil, kdy může být index použit.
Amartya Sen zdůraznil, že nikoli zboží jako takové vytváří bohatství, ale jsou to činnosti, pro něž je zboží vyráběno. Podle tohoto pohledu je příjem důležitý kvůli příležitostem, které vytváří. Ale skutečné příležitosti, nebo jak je nazývá Sen schopnosti, závisejí rovněž na jiných faktorech jako například zdraví. Také tyto faktory by tedy měly být brány v úvahu v případě měření bohatství. Alternativní ukazatelé bohatství (např. index lidského rozvoje) jsou pak vytvořeny přesně v tomto duchu.
Amartya Sen poukázal také na to, že morální zásady předpokládají v určitém ohledu rovnost mezi jednotlivci. Protože však schopnost využít rovnocenné příležitosti je různá a závisí na každém jedinci, problém rozdělení příjmů nemůže být nikdy plně vyřešen. Rovnost v jedné oblasti nutně vyvolává nerovnost v oblasti jiné. Ve kterých oblastech obhajujeme rovnost a kde naopak jsme ochotni akceptovat nerovnost, zřejmě závisí na tom, jak hodnotíme odlišné oblasti bohatství. Sen tvrdí, že schopnosti jednotlivců jsou tou základní oblastí, ve které bychom měli bojovat za rovnost.
Amartya Sen se také zabývá studiem současných hladomorů. Jeho nejlepší práce v této oblasti je kniha z roku 1981 Chudoba a hlad. Na základě důsledných studií několika takových katastrof v Indii, Bangladéši a saharské Africe od 40. let Sen definoval další vysvětlující faktory. Hladomory nemohou být vysvětleny pouze nedostatkem potravin. Hlad se objevil také tehdy, když zásoby potravin nebyly významně nižší než během předešlých let (bez hladomoru), nebo i tehdy, kdy oblasti postižené hladomorem potraviny dovážely.
Sen poukázal na to, že důkladné porozumění tohoto problému vyžaduje hluboké analýzy. Analýzy toho, jaké ekonomické a sociální faktory ovlivnily skutečné možnosti jednotlivých skupin ve společnosti.
Částečným vysvětlením hladomoru v Bangladéši v roce 1974 byly záplavy, které postihly zemi a znamenaly výrazný růst cen potravin, zatímco pracovní příležitosti zemědělských dělníků se drasticky snížily, jelikož úroda nemohla být sklizena. Díky těmto faktorům reálný příjem zemědělských dělníků poklesl tak značně, že tato skupina obyvatelstva byla nucena hladovět.
Pozdější Senovy práce se zabývají otázkou, jak hladomorům předcházet nebo jak alespoň zmírnit jeho důsledky, pokud se již jednou objeví. Ačkoli někteří kritizovali empirické závěry, ke kterým Sen ve své knize Chudoba a hlad dospěl, je jeho dílo nepochybně velkým přínosem k rozvoji ekonomické vědy.
Amartya Sen zformuloval nové teoretické koncepty růstu a prosperity, poukázal na některé nedostatky dosavadních teorií, zabýval se i etickými otázkami odvrácené stránky vývoje zejména v rozvojových zemích, který je mnohdy doprovázen hladomorem, bídou a diskriminací.
