But Sen has, in fact, called many places “home,” from Dhaka in modern Bangladesh to Trinity College, Cambridge. In \u003cem\u003eHome in the World\u003c\/em\u003e, these “homes” collectively form an unparalleled and profoundly truthful vision of twentieth- and twenty-first century life. Interweaving scenes from his youth with candid reflections on wealth, welfare, and social justice, Sen shows how his life experiences—in Asia, Europe, and later America—vitally informed his work, culminating in the ultimate “portrait of a citizen of the world” (Philip Hensher, \u003cem\u003eSpectator\u003c\/em\u003e). • “Sen is more than an economist, moral philosopher or even an academic. He is a life-long campaigner . . . for a more noble idea of home.” —Edward Luce, \u003cem\u003eFinancial Times\u003c\/em\u003e (UK) • “[Sen] is an unflinching man of science but also insistently humane.” —Tunku Varadarajan, \u003cem\u003eWall Street Journal\u003c\/em\u003e","brand":"Liveright Publishing Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42370813067325,"sku":"9781324092926","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/0838\/9949\/files\/9781324092926_p0.jpg?v=1771569139","url":"https:\/\/www.tatteredcover.com\/products\/9781324092926","provider":"Tattered Cover","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
