Forget the cold numbers of GDP. Nussbaum’s book reveals why national wealth often hides deep human suffering. Instead of measuring money, she asks a crucial question: what are people actually able to do and to be? This work introduces the Capabilities Approach, a revolutionary framework for social justice. Through actual stories, Nussbaum defines ten essential human entitlements from bodily integrity to political freedom demanding a world where every person can live with true human dignity.
