In this episode features David Engerman, Leitner International Interdisciplinary Professor of History at Yale University, and a leading scholar of twentieth-century international and global history. His work has reshaped how we understand the intellectual and political history of development, spanning topics from Cold War expertise and Soviet-American exchanges to the global history of aid and economic thought.
David Engerman is the author of several influential books, including Modernization from the Other Shore and The Price of Aid: The Economic Cold War in India, and his research has consistently explored how ideas about development, inequality, and global power have moved across borders and institutions. In this episode, we’ll be discussing his latest book, Apostles of Development: Six Economists and the World They Made.
