Abstract
Development, from a state’s point of view, is a long steady
journey having no certain visible destination. It is an evergrowing concept, meaning, a process of positive change,
involving, several other interdependent processes which, if made
mutually supportive, can enrich the fate of the state, or hinder
it from progress, otherwise. Scarcity of natural resources has
always brought nations and states, face to face, to a neverending competition, in which, they struggle for their survival
and race for their existence. In this respect, the concept of
development has no longer remained a goal, but a mean to achieve
the status of a welfare state. To maintain their position,
countries, must follow a steady path of development, by
utilizing all their available resources. In these resources, the
human resource, above all, is of utmost importance. It is
therefore, quite necessary to be utilized on a higher efficiency
and at full capacity, by making investments, in the form of
human capital. This goal is at the heart of human development
approach. Unlike traditional economics that followed the
evolutionary course of economic development, human development
field tries to explain an analytical understanding of the
concept of human welfare, as a pathway to economic success
instead of just being an outcome of economic growth. To grasp
contemporary abstract connotation of Freedoms and Unfreedoms,
the present paper takes a brief overview of their historic
evolution. It will not only help to understand their already
existing discourse but also enable to carve out further
conceptual developments in relation to modern standards of
futuristic debate.
