Sir Hans W. Singer The Life and Work of a Development Economist

This is the first biography of a world-famous pioneering development economist, Sir Hans W. Singer, who is better known throughout the developing world than any other economist, living or dead. It gives a detailed account of the way in which the 'twists of fate' led him to becoming a leading development economist. It contains a thematic synthesis of all his major theoretical and conceptual work and of the many initiatives in which he has been involved to solve the problems of developing countries.

D. John Shaw was Economic Adviser and Chief of World Food Program’s Policy Affairs Service, a consultant to the World Bank, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, and the Commonwealth Secretariat.
