In his new collection of cultural essays Sen examines social justice and welfare, by addressing some of the fundamental issues of our time like deprivation, disparity, hunger, illiteracy, alienation, globalization, media, freedom of speech, injustice, inequality, exclusion, and exploitation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSen's deeply informed and humane writing connects history, culture, literature, economics, and politics. Several of the essays are concerned particularly with India--its historical traditions and the issues it faces today; many--such as his address to the General Assembly of the United Nations in 2004--engage with global concerns. All are written with a passion and conviction, a gently persuasive style, and a characteristically undogmatic engagement with differing points of view. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMost of these essays were first published in the Indian literary publication \u003cem\u003eThe Little Magazine\u003c\/em\u003e. Others are published here for the first time. The book is introduced by Gopalkrishna Gandhi, former Indian diplomat and governor of West Bengal, who is also the grandson of Mahatma Gandhi.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAmartya Sen, \u003c\/strong\u003eone of the world's foremost thinkers, teaches economics and philosophy at Harvard University, and was earlier Master of Trinity College, Cambridge.
