Dr Donald Jasper Harris (born August 23, 1938) is a Jamaican-American economist and professor emeritus at Stanford University, known for applying post-Keynesian ideas to development economics. He is the father of Kamala Harris, U. S. Senator from California and the Vice President-elect of the United States, and Maya Harris, a lawyer and political commentator. Throughout his career he has had a continuing engagement with work on economic analysis and policy for the economy of Jamaica, his native country. He served there, at various times, as economic policy consultant to the Government of Jamaica and as economic adviser to successive Prime Ministers. His research and publications have centered on exploring the process of capital accumulation and its implications for economic growth with the aim of proving that economic inequality and uneven development are inevitable properties of economic growth in a market economy. From this standpoint, he has sought to assess the traditions of economic study inherited from the classical economists and Marx as well as modern contributions while engaging in related economic studies of various countries' experience.
