Shanker Singham is a visionary...His unique knowledge set, reform vision, and entrepreneurial spirit make him the leading proponent of the effort to raise global welfare by uniting market-oriented approaches to trade and competition...

I believe Shanker is the most brilliant conservative economist of our generation.

One of the world’s greatest economic thinkers

Shanker Singham is probably the best trade expert in the world.

I’ve been impressed by work that has been done by Shanker Singham of the Legatum Institute [a thinktank] who is probably at the moment in Britain the leading expert on trade deals....I’m inclined to believe that Shanker Singham and the work the Legatum Institute has done points the way to a successful trade relationship between Britain and other countries.

I can think of nobody more knowledgeable on trade issues than Shanker.

A General Theory of Trade and Competition (Singham's groundbreaking 2007 textbook) is an important contribution to the understanding of global trade. By going back to first principles, Shanker Singham takes us back to the original purposes of free trade and competitive markets, helping to explain the benefits of free trade. It is an important book for trade specialists and policymakers.

Shanker Singham is one of the world's top trade experts. His thoughtful analysis of trade distortions has served governments in developing polices that support free trade. He has committed his entire career to promoting and supporting economic growth through trade. Though of us who have sought his advice are fortunate to have had his wise counsel.

Prepare yourself for an intellectual nourishment… because when you talk with Shanker, he's one of those people who makes you feel intelligent. And you hear his thoughts on Free Trade and they're so simple, they're so clean, they're so pure that they feel so obvious.
