a crisis of unparalleled distress on forty millions of people, who have natural
resources to feed, clothe and shelter the whole human race.

| Sometimes the
lack of substantive freedoms relates directly to economic poverty, which robs
people of the freedom to satisfy hunger; or to achieve sufficient nutrition, or
to obtain remedies for treatable illnesses or the opportunity to be adequatley
clothed or sheltered, or to enjoy clean water or sanitary facilities. In other
cases, the unfreedom links closely to the lack of public facilities and social
care, such as the absence of epidemiological programs, or of organized arrangements
for the health care or educational facilities, or of effective insititutions for
the maintenance of local peace and order. In still other cases, the violation
of freedom results directly from a denial of political and civil liberties by
authoritarian regimes and from imposed restrictions on the freedom to participate
in the social, political and economic life of the community. -- Amartya

Somewhere
