Description

IDENTITY AND VIOLENCE: THE ILLUSION OF DESTINY

 In this great book of social science Amartya Sen brings to our generation a new and modern vision of how to obtain peace, by respecting the humanity and diversity of others. The book has another reward for its readers, since it also opens an autobiographical window on Amartya Sen himself. Living up to his idea for behaviour will make us all better people, as it is also the way to world peace.’ —George Akerlof, Nobel Laureate in Economics, 2001
