''Economic Journal'' 104 (Sept): pp. 1,147-55.〕 His son is the noted economist Sir Partha Dasgupta.〔Partha Dasgupta (2003) The Social Analyst: A. K. Dasgupta (16 July 1903 – 14 January 1992) ''Economic and Political Weekly''.〕 == Life and education == Amiya Kumar Dasgupta was born in Bhanga, Faridpur district, East Bengal, Bengal Presidency, British India (now Bangladesh). His childhood was spent in Goila, a village in Barisal district, East Bengal (now Bangladesh).〔For more information on all aspects of this section, see the Introduction of ''The Collected Papers of A.K. Dasgupta, Volume I: Two Treatises on Classical Political Economy'', edited by Alaknanda Patel, Oxford University Press (2009).〕 Dasgupta obtained his Matriculation degree from Goila School (established in 1883 by his uncle, Rajnikanto Dasgupta) in 1920; his Intermediate degree from the Brojomohun College, Barisal, East Bengal, 1922, which was then affiliated with the University of Calcutta. He earned his B.A. and M.A. degrees in Economics in 1925 and 1926 respectively as a student of the University of Dacca. Between 1926 and 1946 Dasgupta was Lecturer in Economics at Dacca University. On leave from his lectureship, he worked for a PhD in Economics under Lionel Robbins at the London School of Economics in 1934–1936, being awarded his PhD in 1936 for a dissertation with the title, "The Conception of Surplus in Theoretical Economics" (published in India during the war as a book).
