Hans Wolfgang Singer

Hans Wolfgang Singer was a renowned German-born economist who made significant contributions to international economic development and trade policy. He is best known for creating the "benefit-sharing" concept, emphasizing that trade should benefit all countries involved, especially developing nations. Singer argued that fair distribution of economic gains from international trade and aid could promote global stability and growth. His work highlighted the importance of equitable economic relationships and influenced international policies aimed at reducing poverty and inequality. Singer's ideas continue to shape discussions on how global economies can work together fairly for mutual benefit.
