Economist Nurul Islam
Reminiscing about Prof Nurul Islam / A gale-force intellect and a caring man
What is the source of Prof Islam's eminence?

That legacy has produced a bevy of outstanding economists over the past three decades. He lived a full life, steering through extraordinary times while leaving a chequered professional career behind. Yet, he once professed he was only an economist by accident.
