Summary: Forty years ago Amartya Sen delivered his Tanner Lecture, 'Equality of What?', in which he introduced to the world a novel approach to the idea of equality by way of the notion of 'basic capability' as 'a morally relevant dimension'. We can now see with hindsight that Sen's argument - that we should focus upon equality of basic capabilities ('a person being able to do certain basic things') - launched what has become an academic armada now proceeding under the flag of 'the capability approach'. While that flag has ventured far and wide and engaged many area of inquiry, this volume of essays explores how the capability approach (the CA) might shed light upon labour law.
