520 _aIn Inequality Reexamined, Nobel Laureate Amartya Sen posits that social arrangements should be evaluated according to the extent of freedom people have to realize the goals they value. According to him, equality in social relations matters most in the domain of capabilities. In this book, Sabina Alkire examines how Sen's capability approach can be coherently and practically - put to work in participatory poverty reduction activities. She probes how we identify what is valuable. Sen deliberately left the capability approach 'incomplete' in order to ensure its relevance to persons and cultures with different understandings of the good. In the first part of this book, Alkire proposes a framework for identifying valuable capabilities, that retains the 'fundamental' incompleteness and space for individual and cultural diversity.
