Apostles of development : six economists and the world they mage - Gurugram Penguin Random House 2025 - 560

The battle against global poverty that began after World War II was a major undertaking engaging economists, engineers, and organizations. Featuring front and centre were six remarkable economists: Amartya Sen, Manmohan Singh, Mahbub ul Haq, Jagdish Bhagwati, Rehman Sobhan, and Lal Jayawardena, all born as colonial subjects in the British Empire and studied at Cambridge University. They represented a new figure on the world scene ―­ the Third World development expert­­ ― and played a crucial role in global debates about poverty and development.
