Based on Wilkinson, Audine C. 1999. SIR ARTHUR LEWIS: A BIBLIOGRAPHICAL PORTRAIT . Library, Institute of Social and Economic Research University of the West Indies Cave Hill, Barbados (Updated Edition).
INTRODUCTION
This Bibliography is intended as a tribute to the late Sir William Arthur Lewis, Nobel Laureate, a great Economist, a Visionary, an innovative Administrator, and a committed West Indian.
The Institute of Social and Economic Research, University of the West Indies, Cave Hill Campus claims, by association, some of his distinguished successes. As Vice-Chancellor of the University from 1960 to 1963 he was instrumental in the creation of the Institute.
It is, therefore, fitting for us in the Institute to reflect upon his works which have not only been pioneering efforts in the field of economics, but have triggered off debates from the Right and the Left with equal respect for the profoundness of his thought, creativity and vision.
