这本书探讨了公共行动在消除贫困和扩大印度人的自由方面的作用。这一分析是以广泛和综合的发展观为基础的，其重点是福祉和自由，而不是经济增长的标准指标。作者将人的能动性置于舞台的中心，并强调不同机构（经济、社会和政治）在增强有效自由方面的互补作用。从国际比较的角度来看，印度经济在90年代初开始的经济改革之后的一段时间里表现相当不错。然而，相对较高的总体经济增长率与地方性匮乏和严重的社会失败并存。Jean Dreze和Amartya Sen将这种不平衡与改革后时期继续忽视公众参与基础教育、保健、社会保障、环境保护、两性平等和公民权利等关键领域有关，并与军事开支加速扩大等新负担有关。此外，作者将这些对公共优先事项的扭曲与社会影响力和政治权力的根深蒂固的不平等联系起来。这本书讨论了通过更积极的民主实践来解决这些偏见的可能性。
This book explores the role of public action in eliminating deprivation and expanding human freedoms in India. The analysis is based on a broad and integrated view of development, which focuses on well-being and freedom rather than the standard indicators of economic growth. The authors place human agency at the centre of stage, and stress the complementary roles of different institutions (economic, social, and political) in enhancing effective freedoms. In comparative international perspective, the Indian economy has done reasonably well in the period following the economic reforms initiated in the early nineties. However, relatively high aggregate economic growth coexists with the persistence of endemic deprivation and deep social failures. Jean Dreze and Amartya Sen relate this imbalance to the continued neglect, in the post-reform period, of public involvement in crucial fields such as basic education, health care, social security, environmental protection, gender equity, and civil rights, and also to the imposition of new burdens such as the accelerated expansion of military expenditure. Further, the authors link these distortions of public priorities with deep-seated inequalities of social influence and political power. The book discusses the possibility of addressing these biases through more active democratic practice.
