14x21.5 cm hardcover, black cloth binding, gilt title to spine, inscribed front free endpaper, "To Frank/ with regards & best wishes,/ Amartya." i-xiv, 207 pp, fine in fine dust jacket in protective mylar sleeve. FROM DUST JACKET FLAP: "Considering the vast diversity of our individual characteristics and circumstances, Sen argues that the dictum 'all people are created equal' serves largely to deflect attention from the fact that we differ in age, gender, talents, physical abilities, and proneness to illness, as well as in material advantages and social background. Equality in one sphere tends, therefore, to be linked to inequality in other spheres. We are forced to select, and Sen argues for concentrating on higher and more basic values: individual capabilities and freedom to achieve objectives."
