This book redefines poverty through the lens of capabilities, as proposed by Amartya Sen and Martha Nussbaum. It argues that poverty is not merely a lack of resources, but the inability to live creatively. The authors emphasize the importance of skilled work in enabling individuals to escape poverty and live fulfilling lives.

The book explores poverty through a lens that contrasts it with freedom, proposing a unique theoretical framework. It challenges traditional views by emphasizing how poverty limits individual liberty rather than merely focusing on the absence of wealth. By rethinking poverty in this way, the author invites readers to consider the deeper implications of economic disparity on personal autonomy and societal structures.
