A meandering and sometimes self-indulgent memoir, but full of fascinating stories, musings, and commentary from one of the most important thinkers of the last century. The breadth and depth of the intellectual life Sen cultivated for himself as a young scholar is inspiring and impressive.

I bought this book cos I was curious about the author's “Capability approach” to welfare economics. And it wasn't mentioned once :-).

The book itself maybe a 3.5 but the author's life is a 4 or 5. Feel quite jealous of the intellectual company Sen participated in.
