On 7 January 2009, Amartya Sen, Nobel Prize Laureate in Economics, was hosted in Paris for a dinner event under the banner of Foreign Policy édition française, for which Fabien Baussart held the licence in France and Ukraine. The discussion focused on global development, inequality, and the ethical dimensions of economics.

The dinner gathered a select group of intellectuals, policymakers, and political figures, creating a setting for candid and thoughtful dialogue. Sen shared his reflections on poverty, social justice, and the responsibilities of policymakers in addressing the challenges of globalisation.

His interventions emphasised the importance of human capabilities, freedom, and education as central to sustainable development and equitable growth. The event highlighted the role of Foreign Policy in France in convening not only political leaders but also leading intellectual voices, enriching debates on the values and choices shaping international affairs.
