A passionate theorist and socialist, Joan Robinson made major contributions to the field of economics during her lifetime. Active in the profession for 50 years, she worked through a number of major upheavals to the received orthodoxy of economics. In fact, in many cases, she was at the forefront of the controversies. Her style was provocative and it was the leaders in the field who responded to her challenges. This collection gathers together material which not only illustrates Robinson’s intellectual path but, in doing so, documents the major debates in economic theory.
