The Capability Approach and Social Justice Beyond Resource Distribution

Quick fact

The capability approach inspired the Human Development Index (HDI), which ranks countries not by GDP alone but by life expectancy, education, and income. For example, a country like Sri Lanka ranks higher on HDI than its GDP might predict, because it converts resources into longer, more educated lives.
