This book explores an adventurous life of engagement in the
challenges of economic development in a destitute China (1946-47),
war-torn Korea (1951-52), divided Vietnam (1955-1957), and
post-Sukarno Indonesia (1966-71). It also relates the author's
subsequent experiences helping South Korea enter onto its high
growth trajectory and Indonesia to modernize its financial system.
Interspersed are vignettes of academic life at Deep Springs
College, Cornell University, University of Michigan, Vanderbilt
University and Harvard, and the challenges of working with the
Navajo Nation to extract revenue and reduce pollution from
exploitative coal-mining and power companies, as well as trying to
devise an appropriate and viable approach to rural development for
the remote, politically and culturally divided district of Abyei,
on the border between North and South Sudan. Finally, it describes
the author's efforts at preserving environmental and historical
resources in Southeast Massachusetts. Throughout, the book recounts
and acknowledges the important roles of teachers, colleagues,
friends and family in enriching the author's fortunate life.
