Abstract
It gives some idea of Singer’s immediate and total commitment to his new work that within a short time after his arrival at the United Nations he was to produce a pioneering study for which he became perhaps most well-known as a development economist.
I am particularly indebted to John and Richard Toye for their work on the origins of the Prebisch—Singer thesis (Toye and Toye, forthcoming) and to David Sapsford and John-ren Chen for their work in reviewing the considerable number of studies concerning the Prebisch—Singer thesis (Sapsford and Chen, 1998b).
