==Background==
Jones was born in Melbourne, Australia, the son of Arthur Winslow Jones (an executive of General Electric) and his wife, Elizabeth Huntington. He moved to the United States with his family when he was 4. He graduated from Harvard University in 1923, and, after working as purser on a tramp steamer that sailed around the world, he joined the Foreign Service. In the early 1930s, he became vice consul at the U.S. embassy in Berlin during Hitler's rise to power. In 1932, for a couple of months he was married to Anna Luise Hauser, née Block (1896–1982), a daughter of the German painter Joseph Block and a descendant of German banker Joseph Mendelssohn.〔Marriage certificate, Amtsgericht Berlin-Tiergarten, Berlin/Germany, Nr. 38/1932〕 In 1936, he married Mary Carter, with whom he travelled through Spain during that country's civil war, reporting on civilian relief for the Quakers. In 1941, he earned a doctorate in sociology at Columbia University.〔John Russell, (Alfred W. Jones, 88, Sociologist And Investment Fund Innovator. ) ''NY Times'' 3 June 1989: Section 1, Page 11〕 He then completed his doctoral thesis, ''Life, Liberty and Property'', a survey of attitudes toward property in Akron, Ohio.〔Alfred Winslow Jones, (''Life, Liberty, and Property, A Story of Conflict and a Measurement of Conflicting Rights.'' ) The University of Akron Press〕
