Debate between 2 leading economists of the world Amartya Sen and Jagdish Bhagwati

Completion requirements

These is an ongoing debate about which pathway to take in development economics (and in turn for better health of the society). I have outlined two major economists' arguments that happened in the context of 2014 general elections in India. I have also put in the third perspective by Partho which has a very different take on the debate. 

The links for the debates are
