How should American leaders reconcile the cacophony of beliefs and practices in the United States with a kind of citizenship worthy of the American tradition of religious freedom? How can they honor the religious convictions of all Americans? Douglas A. Hicks provides a guide to these thorny issues. Though moral and spiritual resources can enrich civic life, leaders must be prepared to cope with nearly inevitable conflicts among people of different faiths. The key to good leadership, Hicks writes, is to engage one another across lines of difference in a spirit of humility, to build communication and trust, and to offer an inclusive vision that is true to America's principles.

The capabilities approach has emphasized that inequalities can be analyzed in various dimensions of human functioning. Indicators of these inequalities can be incorporated into assessments of well-being. The capabilities approach also highlights the intrinsic importance of agency and demonstrates empirically that agency is instrumentally valuable for achieving various functionings. This paper draws together these discussions to delineate the relationships among inequalities, agency, and well-being of disadvantaged persons. A person's relative deprivation (e.g., being illiterate or being in ill-health) negatively affects her well-being and contributes to her lack of agency. Conversely, some (but not all) expressions of agency by disadvantaged persons can help reduce inequalities. This model provides a complex understanding of the dynamics of deprivation—and its alleviation. The paper closes by considering ways agency and inequalities could be incorporated alongside well-being into indicators of development. – development ; inequality ; gender ; well-being ; agency ; capability ; distribution ; Sen
