I received the following inquiry from a Ph.D. student in international affairs. 
 
"I am interested in learning what a typical curriculum for economics majors was in the
years 1920-1950, before economic development emerged as a specialty, before modernization
theories. Virtually all the men(!) responsible for both modernization theories in the 50s
and early 60s and those directly involved in US foreign assistance policy and programs
(Alliance for Progress), are on the record has never having had any courses on the
economics of underdevelopment. So typically, what did they study?"
 
Any suggestions?
