VOCABULARY (9)
READING (5)
Human development is about much more than the rise or fall of national incomes. It
is about creating an environment in which people can develop their full potential and lead
productive, creative lives in accord with their needs and interests. People are the real wealth
of nations. Development is thus about expanding the choices people have to lead lives that
they value. And it is thus about much more than economic growth, which is only a means
—if a very important one —of enlarging people ’s choices.

Fundamental to enlarging these choices is building human capabilities —the range

of things that people can do or be in life. The most basic capabilities for human
development are to lead long and healthy lives, to be knowledgeable, to have access to the
resources needed for a decent standard of living and to be able to participate in the life of
the community. Without these, many choices are simply not available, and many
opportunities in life remain inaccessible.

This way of looking at development, often forgotten in the immediate concern with
accumulating commodities and financial wealth, is not new. Philosophers, economists and
political leaders have long emphasized human wellbeing as the purpose, the end, of
development. As Aristotle said in ancient Greece, “Wealth is evidently not the good we are
seeking, for it is merely useful for the sake of something else.”

In seeking that something else, human development shares a common vision with
human rights. The goal is human freedom. And in pursuing capabilities and realizing rights,
this freedom is vital. People must be free to exercise their choices and to participate in
decision-making that affects their lives. Human development and human rights are
mutually reinforcing, helping to secure the well-being and dignity of all people, building
self-respect and the respect of others.
