I can try to dig them up. Mat WN: Sen was the inspiration for the UNDP’s Human Development Index (HDI), the latest of which was published in UN Development Program, Human Development Report 1999 (New York: Oxford University Press, 1999). WN: I critique HDI and other measures of average economic welfare in Nafziger, The Economics of Developing Countries, 3rd ed.(Upper Saddle River, NJ: Prentice Hall, 1997), pp. 9-45. Other development texts also evaluate HDI, GDP per capita, etc. None of these is the last word. WN: I am also looking forward to reading Sen's Development and Freedom, recommended by Jim Craven. E.
