Alexandre Bertin. — What perspectives for the « capacities » approach ? Over the last thirty years, the utilitarian approach to well-being has been questioned by many authors. Amartya Sen, in particular, made a significant contribution by pioneering new concepts like « capabilities », thereby bringing about a reassessment of poverty not only along monetary lines but also using philosophical, anthropological and political criteria. The question however is whether the progression and the enrichment of this approach by numerous authors can lead to a new economic paradigm or whether it amounts to no more than the enrichment of the utilitarian paradigm. The answer is negative as Amartya Sen remains a utilitarian economist
