Chapter 16 in Sir Hans Singer, 2002, pp 155-157 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract One might have imagined that the drama of Singer’s life and work would be over at the end of the second act when Singer retired from the United Nations in 1969. Not a bit of it! The third act has proved to be just as exciting, and productive, as in the previous years, and Singer’s output and activities even more prolific, as Sir Alec Cairncross has described. It is little wonder that he regarded Singer as ‘better known in the developing countries than any other economist’ (Simmons, 1985). The challenge for the biographer is how to do justice to, and convey to the reader in the space available, the extraordinary scale, depth and variety of his writings in the last 30 years as well as in the years before.
