Initiation: A Case of Mistaken Identity

D. John Shaw

Chapter 5 in Sir Hans Singer, 2002, pp 39-43 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Singer recounted how the twists of fate went further, and how a person born and brought up in an industrial country, trained as an economist under Schumpeter and Keynes, who had studied the problems of a developed country, and never set foot in a developing country, came henceforth to be absorbed by the concerns of the Third World (Singer, 1976a, pp. 3–4; 1984c, pp. 275–9). He described two scenarios, one logical, the other fortuitous, that led him to leave the mainstream and join the then tiny band of ‘development economists’.
