Letiche, now in his nineties, provides an intriguing look at the changes that have occurred during his lifetime. Following his Kiev childhood and formative years in Depression-era Montreal, he completed a doctorate at the University of Chicago and took up a Rockefeller fellowship at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York City. As a technical advisor to the Economic Commission for Africa he conducted trade talks with both gifted and corrupt heads of state in sub-Saharan Africa, and later shared a working White House dinner with an infamous American president. His half-century-long teaching career at Berkeley included a front row seat for the Free Speech Movement and the most documented student revolt in popular history. Told with humour, insight, and humility, Crises and Compassion moves nimbly among weighty events and meaningful personal history, showing how "civility in intellectual exchange" came to be the guiding principle of a life of monumental experiences.

Throughout my career it has been my objective to put economic analysis and the history of economic thought to the quantitative and practical test. Toward that end I began my research by showing that the level of protection in the United States was related to the degree of inefficiency of American industries. Under conditions of normal economic growth and without inflation, it was demonstrated that the United States underwent striking adaptions in industrial fields.
The evidence showed that it was archaic to maintain that American industry required protection from the competition of the newly developing countries. However, it was also demonstrated that under inflation, followed by major recessions, the foundations of United States freer trade policies and those of the International Monetary Fund would be seriously undermined. This research was followed by the formulation of a more general theory of the balance of payments and its application to specific issues of economic development.
The role of factoral terms of trade in the time sequence of economic growth and trade patterns was demonstrated to be of primary significance. Differential rates of productivity growth and international imbalance were proved to be caused primarily by monetary and institutional disturbances rather than structural ones.
As regards the history of economic thought, I discovered the true identity of Isaac Gervaise and the nature of his business career, rendering it possible for the first time to place his remarkable Essay in its historical setting. Similarly, I have endeavoured to examine the history of economic thought of numerous countries to enlighten our understanding of their objectives and actions.
Recently, my research has turned toward linking mainstream macroeconomics, microeconomics, and Keynesian economics with the aim of integrating key monetary and real variables in balance-of-payments disequilibrium.
