Definitions

Yesterday, in an attempt to define "freedom" in the context of the vital Capability Approach to economics, I consulted a dozen papers, and made copious notes (pictured). So very often, definitions are assumed and not stated -- more so in American literature I find, than in British. I finally got it (circled, in the middle). OBSERVATION: Perhaps the British have an unwitting advantage through the famous catch-phrase of CEM Joad on British television: "It all depends on what you mean by (that)."
