Speaker: Professor Amartya Sen, Professor Richard Sennett This event was recorded on 20 November 2009 in Old Theatre, Old Building Nobel Prize winner Professor Amartya Sen will discuss his latest book The Idea of Justice with LSE's Professor Richard Sennett. This major philosophical work by one of the world's leading public intellectuals constructs a new theory of justice, not from abstract ideals or notions of what perfect institutions and rules might be, but from what the results of a system are practically, in the world. It highlights the importance of public reasoning and argues that a system of justice should require the agreement not just of the community which is making laws, but of outsiders who might be affected, or who might have valuable perspectives to offer. The methods and conclusions of the book have implications for many different fields of intellectual activity, not only those connected with justice. It is the most ambitious and wide-ranging book Amartya Sen has yet written.

Amartya Sen is an Indian economist and is currently a Professor of Economics and Philosophy at Harvard University. Sen won the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics in 1998 for his contributions to the study of welfare economics. Known as "the Mother Teresa of Economics," Sen focuses his work on human development theory, welfare economics, and the underlying mechanisms of poverty, gender inequality, and political liberalism. In this video, Sen outlines his philosophy of "Development as Freedom." Sen identifies FXB International (fxb.org) as one organization that operates in concordance with his theories of economic development. Founded in 1989, FXB International is an organization aimed at providing support for children affected by HIV and poverty, operating under the belief that the best solution for helping these children is to strengthen the social and economic capacities of their communities. One component of the organization's work is the establishment of FXB Villages. The selected communities take part in a three-year program marked by the gradual transfer of responsibility from FXB counselors and nurses to the villagers themselves. During this time, FXB works to develop important life skills among community members in the hope that they will ultimately become physically, financially, and socially independent. This video highlights an FXB Village in Uganda. Amartya Sen also suggests: • Human Rights Watch (www.hrw.org • Oxfam International (www.oxfam.org
