 Arthur Lewis’s Contribution to Development Thinking and Policy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
All this is quite in contrast to Lewis’ model, which, of course, also depicts a two-sector world, also built on physiocratic as well as classical antecedents but in which agriculture is now the dominant non-capitalist, or subsistence, sector, with only two factors at play, landlords and workers, and wages set in a bargaining context.
Lewis moreover rejected the neoclassical assumptions of full employment, market clearance and perfect competition, even as he saw it as a distant goal, along with Ken Arrow (1962).
Turning first to extensions, Lewis, as has already been mentioned, focused mainly on organizational dualism, on intersectoral labor markets explicitly and on intersectoral financial markets implicitly; he had relatively little to say about intersectoral commodity markets and the intersectoral terms of trade, which was left to Fei and Ranis (1964), among others, to explore.

 Sample Chapter for Tignor, R.L.: W. Arthur Lewis and the Birth of Development Economics.
Lewis threw himself into the task of advising the Colonial Office with an enthusiasm surely intensified by the fact that he expected the postwar world to be more egalitarian, less racist, and less imperialist than the prewar had been.
As the war drew to a close, Lewis turned his attention to the nationalist movements that were bursting forth around the world, especially in Africa and the Caribbean, and that were destined to culminate in decolonization settlements.
Although Lewis was fond of saying that he became an economist by accident, because the occupations of engineering, colonial service, and business were closed to him, it is hard to imagine that he would not have gravitated to a field so well suited to his personality and way of thinking.
