W. Arthur Lewis and the Legacy of the Caribbean Development Bank
Pages: 1-21Author(s): Dr. Barbara Ingham and Dr. Mark Figueroa
This article discusses the legacy that the Caribbean Development Bank derived from its first President, W. Arthur Lewis. It credits the Bank’s management success to Lewis whose early training left him committed to efficient administration. The Bank’s policy under Lewis is explored, noting the emphasis that he placed on the development of the agricultural sector, human capital and entrepreneurship as well as need for social discipline and a rising domestic savings rate. The article concludes that despite gains in education, skills and infrastructure, Caribbean developmental goals have often been undermined, as Lewis feared they would be, by indebtedness and macro-economic instability.
