Book Review: W. Arthur Lewis: A Life in Development Economics

Author

  • Ravi Kanbur

Abstract

Tignor’s book attempts to give us the measure of the man in his professional life, with enough insight into personal development to help in this task. Lewis comes across as a man of brilliant insight and clear thinking, a man of principle and integrity, but a man of deeply personal outlook and sentiment who rarely showed the world his emotions, and bore the scars of his personal development with quiet dignity while working to ensure that others did not have to suffer the injustices he faced as a young man.
