This is a primer on the Capabilities Approach, Martha Nussbaumâe(tm)s innovative model for assessing human progress. She argues that much humanitarian policy today violates basic human values; instead, she offers a unique means of redirecting government and development policy toward helping each of us lead a full and creative life.
