HARNESSING GLOBALIZATION

“Henry Wan Jr is considered to be one of the most creative and prolific development and trade theorists of his generation. This splendid collection of his essays shows why that reputation is amply justified. Read and enjoy.”

“Henry Wan Jr is an original thinker and meticulous researcher, bringing to development economics his deep analytical skills and familiarity with facts and literature. At a time when the East Asian economies assume increased importance in the world arena, this compact volume should be highly valuable for scholars and policy makers alike.”

“Henry Wan Jr has been a pioneering analyst for many branches of modern economics: growth and capital theory, including subtleties of forestry economics, theory of international trade, application of differential games, and mathematical economics focused particularly on the intertemporal. This volume collects essays that go to the root of the discipline's basic issues and purpose, with what theory tries to model rather than the abstract models themselves. As such, they will be an essential voice in the ongoing reorientation of development economics towards all that which has been excluded and bracketed in the last half-century of work in the field. A timely and relevant volume indeed.”
