El presente artículo tiene por objeto hacer un análisis de los programas de transferencia monetaria condicionada en relación con el enfoque de desarrollo planteado por Amartya Sen, teniendo en cuenta que en la última década han tenido un proceso de expansión y fortalecimiento en distintos países de América Latina y el Caribe, como forma de superación de la pobreza, a través de la entrega de apoyos monetarios dirigidos a personas en situación de vulnerabilidad, ya sea por escasez de recursos económicos o por situaciones de conflicto, deteniéndose en elprograma insignia implementado en Colombia, Familias en Acción, el cual, durante el gobierno de Álvaro Uribe Vélez fue convertido en parte de una maquinaria política con fines reeleccionistas, asegurando de esta manera gran cantidad de votos.

Im Jahr 1993 veröffentlichte Amartya Sen seinen nicht nur in Fachkreisen beachteten Artikel „The Economics of Life and Deaths“ 1. In diesem Beitrag, ins Deutsche zu übersetzen als „Wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Überlegungen [Economics] zu Leben und Tod“, formuliert der Harvard-Professor und spätere Nobel-Preisträger wesentliche Gedanken seiner kritischen Wohlfahrtsökonomik auf dem Weg zu einer „Ökonomie für den Menschen“ 2. Er weist darauf hin, dass sich die Wirtschaftswissenschaften nicht nur mit Ressourcen wie Einkommen und Vermögen als solchen beschäftigen sollten, sondern auch mit deren Gebrauch zu bedeutsameren Zwecken, insbesondere für ein langes und lebenswertes Leben.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between Amartya Sen’s notion of adaptation and his views on identity politics by focussing on the issue of slavery and, more specifically, on the example of the happy or contented slave. Design/methodology/approach The paper is text based. The methodological approach adopted is that of conceptual analysis, as is typical for work of this kind. Findings The paper concludes that the example of the happy or contented slave is indeed a fruitful one for those interested in exploring the relationship between Sen’s views on “the adaptation problem” and his views on identity politics, especially in relation to the subjection of women. Here Sen’s debt to the ideas of Mary Wollstonecraft and John Stuart Mill is particularly important. Research limitations/implications One implication of the argument of the paper is that there is a need to consider more carefully the differences that exist between the views of Wollstonecraft and Mill, so far as the example of the happy or contented slave is concerned. Practical implications One practical implication of the paper is that, hopefully, it establishes the continued relevance of the ideas of thinkers such as Wollstonecraft and Mill today, not least because of the influence that they have had on theoreticians such as Amartya Sen. Social implications The paper addresses issues which are of considerable social and political significance, especially for women in underdeveloped societies today. Originality/value The example of the happy or contented slave has not received much discussion in the literature on Sen, although Sen himself has suggested that the distinction between happiness and contentment is an important one, which does merit further discussion.
