Neo-liberalism looks Misty through Amartya Sen’s ‘Snakes and Ladders’

 Sudipta Bhattacharyya

Professor Amartya Sen in recent lecture ‘Snakes and Ladders’ compared
the performances of Europe, China and India. He pointed out that the
economic policy of ‘austerity’ pushed the developed world ‘into the
mouth of a fairly hefty snake’. On the other hand though India’s
experiment about democracy is relatively successful, there is an
abysmal inequality prevails; so much so that it’s social development
indicators are not only below China, but also below Bangladesh. To
save developed and developing world including India from ‘hefty
snakes’, state should ensure education and health security and it
should act as the ‘social mediator’. Having broad consensus with Sen,
I would like to put forward some important disagreements as below.
