The Gypsy Economist
This book offers the first intellectual biography of the Anglo Australian economist, Colin Clark. Despite taking the economics world by storm with a mercurial ability for statistical analysis, Clarkâs work has been largely overlooked in the 30 years since his death.

He was the first economist to derive the concept of GNP, the first to broach development economics and to foresee the re-emergence of India and China within the global economy.

Clark wandered through the fields of applied economics in much the same way as he rambled through the English countryside and the Australian bush. His imaginative wanderings qualify him as the eminent gypsy economist for the 20th century.

"Stones by the River is an outstanding documentation of the Pentecostal Movement and the Assemblies of God pioneers in Tennessee, featuring nearly 100 pictures of barns, tents and humble gatherings where God transformed simple city, farm and mountain folk into spiritual giants. Deeply entrenched prejudices and tap-rooted habits yielded to the Spirit's triumphant power, and the dynamic experience of the baptism of the Holy Spirit provided mission, vision and motivation for the early ministers and evangelists in the formation of a great and still-growing district of the Assemblies of God." -- from dust jacket flap.
