One Among So Many tells the story of a self-taught, brilliant economist pushing through to make an important impact in a man’s world of finance, government and economic policy. Committed to social justice informed by objective economic analysis, D’Arista had to swim against the fierce tide of an ideologically driven, ascendant free market economics in the 1970s. The book includes entertaining, insightful and funny portrayals of an amazing array of people, as well as accounts of far-flung travel.
