- Summary:
- Citizen scholars of the Caribbean as well as noted international economists analyse the macroeconomic and broader development challenges facing developing countries today in this collection dedicated to the work of Sir William Arthur Lewis, Nobel Laureate and a pioneer of Development Economics. Originally developed as individual lectures in Lewis's honour and delivered over a ten-year period, they reflect the ethos of his approach to development and the utility of economics as a problem-solving discipline. The ultimate aim is to provide practical solutions to the problems of development. The contributors to this volume are: Rex Nettleford; Alister McIntyre; Norman Girvan; Lloyd Best; Kari Levitt; Marius St. Rose; Clive Thomas; Alan Blinder; Joseph Stiglitz; and Gerald Meier. There is a Foreword by Dr the Hon. Ralph Gonsalves, Prime Minister of St Vincent and the Grenadines. Both the annual lectures and this landmark collection have been organized by the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank whose Governor, Sir K. Dwight Venner provides an insightful and comprehensive Introduction to the volume.
