		W Arthur Lewis is internationally recognised for his work in the field of economics, and justly deserves the many honours that have been bestowed on him, including the award of the coveted Nobel Prize.
		Lewis argued that Britain and France were homogenous societies divided mainly on the basis of class, and that the political systems which they had in place and which they transplanted to Africa and the Caribbean were unsuitable for the latter.
		Lewis argues that the "winner takes all" formula violates the primary meaning of democracy, and was a recipe for one group to capture the state and to use that ownership as a licence to benefit that group primarily at the expense of others outside the ruling group.

	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.

		Sir Arthur Lewis is emphatic that this cannot be the case.
		Agricultural stagnation, Sir Arthur wrote "keeps down the living standards of the great majority of the people, and in restricting their purchasing power, restricts also the scope of industrialisation." That is an incontestable point.
		Says Sir Arthur, "There is no shortage of small scale enterprise, or of willingness to exploit opportunities in an underdeveloped country." That is a precise statement of conditions in Antigua and Barbuda today where we have numerous vendors and small traders.

		Lewis, along with Theodore Schultz, was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1979 for "pioneering research into economic development...with particular consideration of the problems of developing countries.
		Lewis is probably best known for his concept of a "dual economy" in LDC's.
