Episode 17, Jan 23, 2020, 10:09 AM
"Arthur was industrious and very resourceful academic. While at Cambridge [in WW2 when LSE was evacuated there] Hayek said of him that 'while still an assistant lecturer he has been doing the work of a senior member of the department... and with conspicuous success'" - Brian Walker, co-producer of the 2019 video marking the 40th anniversary of Sir Lewis' Nobel Prize win.
This week we're speaking to Brian Walker, about Sir Arthur Lewis' life and achievements on what would have been his 105th birthday. We talk about his life of resilience in the face of numerous challenges, his exceptional achievements and efforts at LSE and how we should appropriately recognise such an important figure. Make sure to watch the video Brian co-produced to learn more about SAL: here.
