- Synopsis
- The 1998 Nobel Laureate in economics, Sen (Harvard U.) responds to what he calls the appalling effects of the miniaturization of people. This happens, he explains, when in order to stop violence, people are reduced to a single identity--for example a moderate Shi'ite or a Hindu nationalist--that authorities believe they can address without considering all the other dimensions of reality each person occupies.
