对不平等问题的研究是 1998年诺贝尔奖获得者阿马蒂亚·森的重要贡献之一。森区分了收入不平等与经济不平等 ,并在传统理论基础上提出了能力平等观 ,拓展了不平等分析的视野。森的分析对解决我国的不平等问题的启示是 :能力平等观为政府行为和公共政策提供了方向 ;从能力扩展的角度深刻理解中国的“科学发展观” ;从能力扩展的角度寻求解决全球化所带来的不平等问题。 The study of inequality was one of the important contributions of 1998 Nobel laureate Amartya Sen. Sen differentiated between income inequality and economic inequality, and put forward the concept of ability equality on the basis of traditional theory, expanding the horizons of inequality analysis. The enlightenment of Sen’s analysis on the solution to China’s inequality is that the concept of capability equality provides the direction for government actions and public policies, deeply understands China’s “scientific concept of development” from the perspective of capacity expansion, and seeks to solve the problem from the perspective of capacity expansion Inequality caused by the problem.
