Lecture: The Fifth Sir Arthur Lewis Memorial Lecture - The Right to Development

Date: November 08, 2000
Country: Castries, St Lucia
Lecturer: Kari Polanyi Levitt
In a career spanning almost sixty years, Kari Polanyi Levitt has lectured and published widely on issues of economic development and Caribbean political economy.

Austrian by birth, she migrated with her family to England at the age of eleven, where she later attended the London School of Economics before moving to Canada in 1947.
Professor Levitt established the Centre for Developing Areas Studies at McGill University in Canada in 1963 and has had an ongoing relationship with Caribbean economists in the ensuing years. She has been a national accounts advisor to the government of Trinidad and Tobago and a visiting professor at the St Augustine and Mona campuses of the University of the West Indies (UWI).

She has worked with the 1999 Sir Arthur Lewis memorial lecturer, Lloyd Best, on a McGill research project on the plantation economy, and has co-authored publications with noted Caribbean economists Sir Alister McIntyre (another former Sir Arthur Lewis memorial lecturer) and the UWI's Michael Witter.

Professor Levitt's publications include 'Canada West Indies Economic Relations', with Alister McIntyre; 'Origins and Consequences of Jamaica's Debt'; and 'Caribbean Political Economy', with Michael Witter.
