Amartya Sen on Poverty and Famines
In his book 'Poverty and Famines: An essay on Entitlement and Deprivation' (1981). Amartya Sen studied the famines in Bengal, Ethiopia, Sahel and Bangladesh. In it, he explains that famine is many times more manmade than natural. He has shattered the traditional theory of 'food availability' of famine. In these various famines, the availability of food grains did not decrease notably. But in the event of a famine, the ability to control food production through purchasing power based on the income and wealth of the society-the reduction in 'Entitlement' and the defect in the famine planning and food distribution system have exacerbated the famine.In this context, Sen says, "Famine cannot be prevented, but its effects can be avoided." According to Amartya Sen, famine is a form of starvation, but it does not affect all sections of the society equally. There has never been a famine in history that has had the same devastating effect on all sections of society.Famine more affects the poor, especially those who have less Entitlement of food availability. Because, in the event of a famine, there would be a slight decline in food grain production for those who have less Entitlement over food availability, there was a huge drop in food supply for them. Therefore, they are more prone to famine. Amartya Sen's book "Poverty and Famines" presents a new analysis of famine. For this, a more rational analysis of the new concept of 'Entitlement' has been done. Referring to this book, the London Review of Books has said that "the author's mind works like a search light and contradicts the old established assumptions".The Economist, London, writes, "The book expresses the best sociological tradition by economically, based on experience and logic." Thus, Amartya Sen's thought on poverty and famines are become important in the world.

The author develops an alternative method of analysis—the 'entitlement approach', which concentrates on ownership and exchange. Aside from developing the underlying theory, the approach is used in a number of case studies of recent famines, including the Great Bengal Famine of 1943, the Ethiopian famines of 1973 and 1974, the Bangladesh ...

Christophers regarding the nineteenth-century famines, quoted in Famine Inquiry Commission (1945a), p. 122 in Poverty and Famines: An Essay on Entitlement and Deprivation by Amartya Sen. The conventional explanation until 1951 for the cause of famines was the decline of food availability.
After introducing the 'entitlement approach' to starvation analysis, the author examines problems of conceptualizing and measuring poverty, and discusses the specific problem of starvation in general terms. He then analyses the 'entitlement approach' in detail and applies it to four case studies of famines from different parts of the world.
The traditional analysis of famines is shown to be fundamentally defective, and the author develops an alternative analysis.

While income may not always provide command in a fully planned economy, or in a 'shortage economy', in which a different system of entitlement might hold, 1 the income‐centred view will be relevant in most circumstances in which famines have occurred. 2 But the inadequacy of the income‐centred view arises from the fact that, even in ...
