    Partha Dasgupta interviewed by Professor Alan Macfarlane, FBA, on 6th April 2010, under the theme “Life and Works of Partha Dasgupta” 0:05:07 Born in November 1942 in Dhaka, then known as Dacca, now in Bangladesh, but then part of India; my maternal grandfather was the chief purchaser in a prominent jute company in Dacca, which is where my mother was born; my paternal grandfather was born in a village called Goila, which is in Barisal, a district in the Ganges-Brahmaputra delta of East Bengal, now Bangladesh; my father’s mother was from East Bengal as well; by the time my father was born, the Dasguptas of Barisal were impoverished financially, but it was a family with a long scholastic history, as I understand it they were a dynasty of scribes dating back to the seventeenth century; some made considerable reputations as Sanskrit scholars, but that didn’t make them rich; my father's father was an officer in local government; he worked in Bhanga, a court town in Faridpur district; three of my grandparents died before I was born, but I did get to know my mother's mother; she died in 1954; she was a lady of considerable independence of mind; one of my mother's sisters, quite a bit older than she, was married at the age of thirteen and widowed at fifteen; my grandmother took a stance subsequently, which meant that my mother didn’t get married until she was twenty-two: she was encouraged by my grandmother to graduate from Dacca University; my mother had a deep interest in both Bengali and English poetry, but I didn't get to know that until she

  • Cambridge Economics
    Economics Cambridge Cambridge Faculty of Economics Alumni Newsletter Vince Cable - An Economist in Politics The Westminster Village is in a frenzy of self-recrimination and speculation. In the centre of it all, Vince Cable (Fitz. 1964 and President of the Union 1965) is calm and ready to refl ect on Economics and his time in Cambridge. He has represented Twickenham in Parliament since 1997 and is the Liberal Democrats’ spokesman on Treasury matters. In that role he has earned a well- deserved reputation as one of the few to foresee the looming fi nancial crisis, and as a scourge of political opponents at the highest level. Having fi rst read Natural Sciences, he switched to Economics for Part II of the Tripos. He stood in awe of the big fi gures who had emerged in Keynes’ wake – the list includes Joan and Austin Robinson, Richard Kahn, Frank Hahn, Richard Stone, Ken Berrill, James Mirrlees and James Meade. Their discourse was that of Keynes’ disciples, addressing issues of effi ciency, equity, employment, and economic growth. And, while acknowledging the current vitality and diversity of Economics in Cambridge, he points to the absence of such a clear public voice today. But Keynes’ liberal economics was soon to be captured and distorted by politicians whose main aim was to promote, or dispute, In the year that the University is celebrating its 800th the case for intervention in the mixed economy. Meade’s nuanced Anniversary, it is a pleasure to introduce the Economics balancing of the open market economy on the one hand with the Faculty's second alumni newsletter.
