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 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.
