In this article I describe dispute about whether welfare economics is normative economics, or the positive economics. The introduction to the discussion was a debate between Ezra Mishan and Pieter Hennipman in 1982-1984. It resulted in Mishan's acceptation of the Hennipman's view, that welfare economics is a part of the positive economics. After a couple of years the topic appeared back in the economic journals. In the first part of this article I present views of George Archibald, Pieter Hennipman and Yew-Kwang Ng, which treat welfare economics as a part of positive economics. In the second part I present contrary opinions of Mark Blaug. In the third part I present counterarguments, which (in my opinion) undermine Blaug's position. I end with the hypothesis that dispute, which I described, can be caused-among others-by the existing, since the time of John Neville Keynes and Max Weber, ambiguity of the terms 'positive economics' and 'normative economics'.

The article portraits the first winner of Nobel price in economics coming neither from America nor from Europe, the Indian thinker Amartya Kumar Sen, with special emphasis on his career since the 1998 prestigious award. Therefore it does not focus primarily on his earlier contributions to mainstream economics, such as the analysis of preferences or the welfare economics. Instead, attention is paid to Sen's activities in the field of development studies including measuring development and poverty, specific understanding of these phenomena and his famous capability approach. At the same time Sen is showed as a researcher able to cross the borders of economic science, to regard the questions that he examines from philosophical, ethical or political aspect as well and to present them in a way accessible not only to specialists but also for broader audience. Last but not least the reader is made familiar with current Sen's professional activities and the most up-to-date impact of his scholarly work.
