When John Kenneth Galbraith received a phone call on December 7, 1960 from President-elect John Fitzgerald Kennedy asking him to serve as the U.S. Ambassador to India, he was approaching the end of the first semester of a two semester seminar on problems of economic and political development that he led together with with his colleague, the Dean of the Graduate School of Public Administration, Edward S. Mason. The seminar was a joint production of the Department of Economics and the Graduate School of Public Administration and originally brought on line by Galbraith.
As can be seen in the official staffing/enrollment information given in the Harvard President’s Report for 1960-61, the spring semester was not offered, almost certainly as the result of Galbraith taking a leave of absence beginning in the spring semester. The handwritten date on the seminar bibliography in the Harvard archives is “October 10, 1960”. At that time both Mason and Galbraith would have presumed the seminar would run for both the fall and spring semesters. For this reason, I believe it is reasonable to assume both professors were responsible in some part for the the bibliography as transcribed below. One may also assume that Gustav Papanek, who later headed Harvard’s Development Advisory Service from 1962-1970, probably also had a hand in drafting the bibliography.

SELECTED BIBLIOGRAPHY ON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
[21 October 1960]
The following bibliography is a selected list of books and articles intended to cover most of the major theoretical and empirical studies concerned with economic growth in underdeveloped areas, that have been published in recent years. No attempt has been made to include (a) major work in the historical evolution of economic thought (Smith, Ricardo, Marx, Schumpeter, etc.); (b) modern theoretical work on economic growth in advanced countries (Harrod, Domar, Fellner, Duesenberry, etc.); or (c) empirical work dealing with the growth of the advanced countries — all of which may be very useful in the attempt to understand the problems of underdeveloped countries and what can be done to assist their economic progress.
The purpose was to produce a short list. Necessarily, many interesting and useful items have been omitted. No major contributions have been omitted intentionally, however, and the users of the bibliography are requested to bring such omissions to the notice of those in charge of the seminar.
The principle of selection has been indicated above. The limits of coverage were set largely in accord with the practice of the Seminar on Economic Development. That is, the focus is primarily on economic issues, with the word “economic” interpreted fairly broadly. In addition, some attention is given to political, social, and cultural matters insofar as they are directly related to economic development. This gives a coverage which overlaps to some extent the fields of government, sociology, and anthropology, and perhaps other disciplines. It might be well to make clear that this bibliography is not intended to cover the works in those other disciplines which are concerned with social, political, and cultural change as such, but only the relationships of such types of change to economic development.
All suggestions for improvement will be welcome.
