Influences
Goulet's work drew its major inspiration from the writings and examples of a group French religious intellectuals including Charles de Foucauld, Simone Weil, Louis-Joseph Lebret and the “worker priests” of the last century and from the hunger and thirst for justice of the gospel of Matthew.
Components of Development
Thirlwall, notes Goulet's contribution to the broadening of the notion of development to include economic and social objectives and the values that societies strive for. In this conext he quotes Goulet's (1971) distinguishing of three basic components or core values of development:
- life-sustenance
- self-esteem
- freedom.
This analysis can be viewed as a precursor to the work of Amartya Sen and the Human Development Index.
