I enjoyed reading Development as Freedom by Sen in undergrad. It was an interesting read for me to get an understanding of non-consequentialist approaches to development, though I still think he underestimated the value of flow-through effects from GDP/scientific progress.
Thanks Linch. You are right.
Amartya Sen compared China and India 30 years ago in his book Hunger and Public Action, it is worth reading today after all these years.

I consider Hunger and Public Action as one of Sen’s best books, it is available as open access online here
