The Economics-Ethics Notion Guided By The "Development Idea"

Amartya Sen is the famous economist, moralist and the expert in the study on poverty problem, awarded the Economics Prize of Nobel in 1998. In Development as Freedom, Sen insists that we should value the social achievement by the enlargement of Substantial Freedom. His study involves ethics, economics and politics, and he tries to unify these subjects under the "Development ". The author tries to theorize and systemize Sen's thought about the "Development". He argues that the subject, determined by ability, is comprehensive and unitary, which can be the theoretical premise of the "Development Idea". He proves that there are four kinds of rational and impulse, and these things urge the subject construct the human society, which is composed of the relations of production, the technology group, the politics organization and the value. But in the modern society the equality value and the market economy are segmented and abstract. The author warns people of the rationality's mortal injury in the Economy-Ethic field, and claims the conviction that the "Basic Capability Equality" and the market economy can be integrated and we can sublate their abstraction and limitation in the current world. The "Development Idea" is rational and actual, which is the unity of the subjective and the objective, which can be the economics-ethics conviction.
