Understanding poverty are development and human freedoms contradictory?

This article considers development from two major angles, namely development as both a process/progress and as a state/condition. In this respect, it examines the social aspects of developme nt to understand its relationship to contemporary global challenges such as poverty. Using approaches suggested by scholars such as Daron Acemoglu and Amartya Sen, it concludes that development could be endless, when and if the accumulation of wealth and the systematisation of sociocultural development are pursued concurrently through education, sound reforms and the provision of basic freedoms.
