Capability, thus defined, is ‘tantamount to the freedom of a person to lead one kind of life rather than another’. It follows, therefore, that the individual’s capability can be repressed [for example by denying a person access to basic services (including food, education, land, freedom of expression, or health care)], or realised - through a person’s own agency. However, supportive actions by other individuals and a range of institutions, including the ‘developmentalist’ state capable of public action, would also be needed for the individual to be able to realise his capabilities. The core of development itself is, therefore, the enjoyment of freedom – not just freedom of speech in a narrow sense, but freedom for individuals to realise their capability.
