Conversations with History: Amartya Sen

[300Moham]

Very interesting Conversation with Dr. Sen. He comes across as a vibrant political and economic activist who will address the problems of world poor, including a billion poor living in India... One nice thing about Dr. Sen is he remained as an Indian citizen while roaming around the world for higher education and for high paying prestigious jobs.. He is the only living Nobel Laureate from India... Dr. R. Venkataraman (Nobel prize winner for Biochemistry) is Naturalized US Citizen.

every single time i find a new amazing thinker there's a conversation with history with them!

[venky230983]

very insightful ... thank you for uploading!!!

[manukottoo]

well, first of all he is Indian. and instead of contributing to India, he just flew to the US and working for Harvard and universities like that... why not teach in India such as Delhi or Mumbai or Banglore? I definitely do not think anybody can look him as a role model. because whatever you are... the main thing people look at you is through your behavior and what you did for your country....!

Its not all about MONEY! SIR!

[watayapupuya]

@manukottoo "Well,first of all he is Indian"!!! How did you get to be so stupid?

[Trimbler00]

@watayapupuya huh?

[watayapupuya]

@Trimbler00 What is "huh" supposed to mean?

Did you not read what that moron wrote?

[Trimbler00]

@watayapupuya I don't see how that quotation implies stupidity

[watayapupuya]

@Trimbler00

No,it is not the quote,but rather ,his whole statement that is stupid,obviously.

[Setzer]

I don't really think that the utilitarian model breaks down as he says when we consider people's lowered expectations and the joy they experience from a small relief from agony. I think that the utilitarian perspective can be expanded to not only judge the status of an outcome for an individual based on his/her desires/satisfaction, but rather to judge those outcomes from universal expectations. So a scrap of food is better than no food, but how does that compare with our situation...

[sgtmcwallace]

The amount of material covered here is immense that could easily span a whole academic university year

[Somakbiswas1]

@mrRAJIV dhawan: what kind of rational fool are u? this is really news to the world!

[MrRajivDhawan]

Amartya is an opportunist and a mediocre person. Jagdish Bhagwati is a much better economist. Amartya has strong support from the U.S. Jewish Lobby and is thus also very pro-Communist China. The Jews and China work as a team. Amartya has no Indian values either though he pretends to be a desiman. This is a clever disguise.

[DrQuickbeam]

@MrRajivDhawan That is hilariously ridiculous. Keep reading those conspiracy blogs Rajiv!

[watayapupuya]

@MrRajivDhawan

You are a hopelessly stupid fool.Go and watch your FOX news.Hurry-up,now.Don't miss out on Glen Beck!

[chriscuniah]

Brilliant scholar -  Broader perspective.

[ranchhodbhaib]

[Nirmuktavideos]

@LongliveSnak2e

The fact that you say something so racist and ugly actually makes you one of those people who are reviled in the real world. I know you must feel hated. Go ahead and spew silly sounding vile nonsense. I hope that at least it makes you feel better about your miserable life.

[simplethings0101]

@LongliveSnak2e　i feel so sorry for you....i hope you meet someone that tells you what you are.

[nagarajaramalinga]

@LongliveSnak2e hahaha.... like you.

[poyglotpublications]

Solid Victorian values- what is puzzling is why he is associated with the Left?

[kidonlyle]

@poyglotpublications How do you mean?

[1888junkteam]

excellent worker!

[twashee07]

Amartya Sen is really a brilliant thinker who understands that one must always question the world that we live in. His breadth as well as depth of understanding of what i call just knowledge (instead of Economics or Politics etc) is truly mind-blowing and has given him the tools to engage with serious problems that affect the poor of this earth and propose useful and insightful solutions to their problems. Truly amamzing

[lsjtifo]

i have a gut feeling that politicians and economists cannot solve problems of countries and our world, their theories help to just tinker with the course of events. science seems to come to the rescue of handling increases in human population, but again creates new problems and is misused. i think there is a time factor which is beyond all economics, science and politics

[peacepearlkashmir]

it was good to watch i am surprised to know that prof sen is feminist economist in addition to welfare economist

[maddycapri9]

now i think indian has a nobel prize in every category

physics

chemistry

medicine

literature

economics!!!!

[freesoul2005]

what about the category "bullshit" ?

[jammyjo610]

the interviewer is going to get a neck ache the way he arches his head back continuously LOLLLLL....poor guy....looks like he is not comfortable

[Shauriatas]

Amartya Sen didn't invent anything. All he did was identify a phenomenon that was happening.

If there was anything wrong with the theory it would have been disproved by now. In fact an economist named Emily Oster tried to do so, but retracted when it was pointed out her research was faulty.

And lastly theory is Missing women of Asia. This includes India, China and other countires. Your patriotism has blinded u to the truth of the matter and you condemn him instead of applauding him.

Pathetic

[victor256in]

you may disagree but using abusive language reflects badly on your understanding of any subject, let alone one of importance like this.

[smitomalvino]

one fact you forgot to mention, you are one stupid caricature of a man.

[venky230983]

for people who might not know ... Amartya Sen has over 80 PhDs............

[baatasari]

did pakis win any nobel?just asking...

[zszszp]

yes, Dr. Abdul Salam in Physics.

Though a phariah due to his belonging to Qadiani sect

[mocarro]

They should really update that intro music...

[drsadvani]

He is third bengali who won the Nobel. The other two being Mother Teresa and Muhammad Yunus.

[goakucan]

Mother Teresa is macedonian.

[amdan7]

She was Albanian, actually.

[goakucan]

I am pretty sure she was born in republic of macedonia but her family is of albanian decent : )

[BillionthIndian]

[buredtx]

1) Mother Teresa born in Albania but as Indian citizen she serve her 45 years of life for poor, sick, orphaned children in India(kolkata) and then in other countries.

2) Rabindranath tagore first Asian Nobel prize winner, born in kolkata (india)

3)Muhammad Yunus form in chittagong which is now part of Bangladesh.

4) Amartya kumar sen born in santiniketan, West Bengal.

[shaolin00]
