Cambridge to the End: The Final Battle. 330 $aThis book examines the life and work of Ajit Singh (1940-2015), a leading radical post-Keynesian applied economist who made major contributions to the policy-oriented study of both developed and developing economies, and was a key figure in the life and evolution of the Cambridge Faculty of Economics. Unorthodox, outspoken, and invariably rigorous, Ajit Singh made highly significant contributions to industrial economics, corporate governance and finance, and stock markets ? developing empirically sound refutations of neoclassical tenets. He was much respected for his challenges both to orthodox economics, and to the one-size-fits-all free-market policy prescriptions of the Bretton Woods institutions in relation to late-industrialising developing economies. Throughout his career, Ajit remained an analyst and apostle of State-enabled accelerated industrialisation as the key to transformative development in the post-colonial Global South. The author traces Ajit Singh?s radical perspectives to their roots in the early post-colonial nationalist societal aspirations for self-determination and autonomous and rapid egalitarian development ? whether in his native Punjab, India, or the third world ? and further explores the nuanced interface between Ajit?s simultaneous affinity, seemingly paradoxical, both with socialism and Sikhism. This intellectual biography will appeal to students and researchers in Development Economics, History of Economic Thought, Development Studies, and Post-Keynesian Economics, as well as to policy makers and development practitioners in the fields of industrialisation, development and finance within the strategic framework of contemporary globalisation. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in the History of Economic Thought,$x2662-6578 606 $aEconomic history 606 $aDevelopment economics 606 $aEconomic development 606 $aEconomic policy 606 $aEconomics 606 $aSchools of economics 606 $aHistory of Economic Thought/Methodology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W28000 606 $aDevelopment Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W42000 606 $aDevelopment Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/913000 606 $aPolitical Economy/Economic Systems$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W46000 606 $aHeterodox Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W53000 615 0$aEconomic history. 615 0$aDevelopment economics. 615 0$aEconomic development. 615 0$aEconomic policy. 615 0$aEconomics. 615 0$aSchools of economics. 615 14$aHistory of Economic Thought/Methodology. 615 24$aDevelopment Economics. 615 24$aDevelopment Studies. 615 24$aPolitical Economy/Economic Systems. 615 24$aHeterodox Economics. 676 $a338.9 676 $a330.92 700 $aSaith$b Ashwani$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0868578 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910337673303321 996 $aAjit Singh of Cambridge and Chandigarh$91938842 997 $aUNINA
