284R. L. C. Robbins to
Harrod, [24 February 1933]
[a]
Robbins was asked
to send Harrod his paper for the Jowett,
[1] but he is not able to do so since it will not be
ready before Tuesday [28 February]. However, he summarizes in
detail its content. Robbins is glad that Harrod is willing to talk on
utility at the London School, and suggests the date of 14 March,
which would give Rosenstein-Rodan--who wrote the article on
"Grenznutzen" for the Handwörterbuch
[2] --the opportunity to attend.

"The Relation of Economics to Psychology", read before the Jowett
Society in Oxford on 28 February 1933. The discussion was opened

Smith, Joseph and Fraser. Phelps Brown and Isaiah Berlin were also
present (JS, minutes, Ms. Top. Oxon. d. 359/1/128v). The paper was
later published in the Manchester School 5, December 1934, pp.
89-101 as "Remarks on the Relationship between Economics and
Psychology".
