This book celebrates the long and illustrious career of Benjamin Higgins, Canada’s most eminent development economist. In his honour, a group of world-renowned scholars tackles the most pervasive and baffling of today’s economic, social, and political problems: how to design, construct, and administer an economic system that will function efficiently and assure improved living standards while respecting basic principles of individual freedom and social justice.
