DESCRIPTION:Why are poor countries poor? How can they get out of the pove
 rty trap?\n\nSir Arthur Lewis (1915-1991) was the first person to answer
  these questions in a systematic way. He was also the first Afro-Caribbe
 an to be a professor at a British university\, and in 1979 became the fi
 rst black man to win the Nobel Prize for Economics.  He had to fight pre
 judice\, in a way which is hard to imagine today.\n\nLewis believed 'tha
 t economics 'concerns life more than numbers'. In the 1950s and 60s\, al
 ongside his academic work\, he campaigned for a fair deal for the poor\,
  in Africa\, the West Indies and Manchester.\n\nBarbara Ingham and Paul 
 Mosley's biography describes the man\, and the social relationships\, be
 hind these astonishing achievements. They consider Lewis' friendships\, 
 rivalries and the societies in which he attempted\, sometimes happily an
 d sometimes disastrously\, to intervene.
