Economists Do Speak Out In Barbados...But They Are Often Foreigners

No sooner had I written the preceding post, than I received an update from Google about a presentation given in Barbados last week by noted Harvard economist Dani Rodrik (see his blog). I had heard about his presentation from an acquaintance last week, the day after it was given under the auspices of the American Embassy and UWI's SALISES (Sir Arthur Lewis Institute of Social and Economic Studies).

I wont precis the presentation except to say that it covers financial globalisation and economic development.

Happy reading.
