'Can the values which individual members of society attach to different alternatives be aggregated into values for society as a whole, in a way that is both fair and theoretically sound? Is the majority principle a workable rule for making decisions? How should income inequality be measured? ... By answering questions such as these, Amartya Sen has made a number of noteworthy contributions to economic science and opened up new fields of study for subsequent generations'
