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.
