Explanation:
Three million people died in India’s 1943 Bengal famine. Living through it was a 9-year-old boy named Amartya K. Sen, who, 55 years later, won the Nobel Prize in Economics for his work on poverty and famine.
Sen, Lamont University Professor Emeritus and a current adjunct and visiting professor at Harvard, was awarded the 1998 Nobel Prize in Economics Wednesday “for his contributions to welfare economics.”
He is Harvard’s 37th Nobel laureate.
Sen, 64, has done extensive work on the economics of poverty. He has developed new ways to predict and fight famine as well as ways to measure poverty, so that more effective social programs can be designed.

Sen is the adjunct professor of population and international health at the School of Public Health and is based in the Harvard Center for Population and Development Studies in Cambridge. Sen is also visiting professor of economics in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences.

“This is the most fitting possible prize,” Rudenstine said. “Amartya works on the most fundamental problems that lie at the crossroads of economics and philosophy. He brings to those problems imaginative, brilliant analytic power and a moral vision that
