Existentially concerned with the corrosion of human rights, Sen has crafted an impassioned manifesto whose ideas are vital to the flourishing of human civilization. The facts are stark: Seven hundred million people live in poverty. Fair elections are increasingly rare, with more than fifty countries suffering major democratic backsliding. Against this background of glaring injustice, Sen asks: What basic rights--freedom from hunger, illiteracy, torture, and arbitrary imprisonment--can human beings genuinely have? Sen provides answers that are both philosophically rigorous and bracingly practical, resulting in an enlightened and accessible work that guides us through the roiling waters of the twenty-first century, showing how the use of reason can mend a broken world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Amartya Sen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 132409933X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781324099338\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Liveright Publishing Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/02\/2027\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Amartya Sen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48997685428479,"sku":"9781324099338","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-cement-of-humanity-amartya-sen-9781324099338","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
