Book excerpt: Joan Robinson (1903-1983) was one of the greatest economists of the twentieth century and a fearless critic of free-market capitalism. A major figure in the controversial ‘Cambridge School’ of economics in the post-war period, she made fundamental contributions to the economics of international trade and development. In Economic Philosophy Robinson looks behind the curtain of economics to reveal a constant battle between economics as a science and economics as ideology, which she argued was integral to economics. In her customary vivid and pellucid style, she criticizes early economists Adam Smith and David Ricardo, and neo-classical economists Alfred Marshall, Stanley Jevons and Leon Walras, over the question of value. She shows that what they respectively considered to be the generators of value - labour-time, marginal utility or preferences - are not scientific but ‘metaphysical’, and that it is frequently in ideology, not science, that we find the reason for the rejection of economic theories. She also weighs up the implications of the Keynesian revolution in economics, particularly whether Keynes’s theories are applicable to developing economies. Robinson concludes with a prophetic lesson that resonates in today’s turbulent and unequal economy: that the task of the economist is to combat the idea that the only values that count are those that can be measured in terms of money. This Routledge Classics edition includes a new foreword by Sheila Dow.
Book Synopsis The Provocative Joan Robinson by : Nahid Aslanbeigui
Download or read book The Provocative Joan Robinson written by Nahid Aslanbeigui and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2009-05-22 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most original and prolific economists of the twentieth century, Joan Robinson (1903–83) is widely regarded as the most important woman in the history of economic thought. Robinson studied economics at Cambridge University, where she made a career that lasted some fifty years. She was an unlikely candidate for success at Cambridge. A young woman in 1930 in a university dominated by men, she succeeded despite not having a remarkable academic record, a college fellowship, significant publications, or a powerful patron. In The Provocative Joan Robinson, Nahid Aslanbeigui and Guy Oakes trace the strategies and tactics Robinson used to create her professional identity as a Cambridge economist in the 1930s, examining how she recruited mentors and advocates, carefully defined her objectives, and deftly pursued and exploited opportunities. Aslanbeigui and Oakes demonstrate that Robinson’s professional identity was thoroughly embedded in a local scientific culture in which the Cambridge economists A. C. Pigou, John Maynard Keynes, Dennis Robertson, Piero Sraffa, Richard Kahn (Robinson’s closest friend on the Cambridge faculty), and her husband Austin Robinson were important figures. Although the economists Joan Robinson most admired—Pigou, Keynes, and their mentor Alfred Marshall—had discovered ideas of singular greatness, she was convinced that each had failed to grasp the essential theoretical significance of his own work. She made it her mission to recast their work both to illuminate their major contributions and to redefine a Cambridge tradition of economic thought. Based on the extensive correspondence of Robinson and her colleagues, The Provocative Joan Robinson is the story of a remarkable woman, the intellectual and social world of a legendary group of economists, and the interplay between ideas, ambitions, and disciplinary communities.

Book Synopsis Contributions to Modern Economics by : Joan Robinson
Download or read book Contributions to Modern Economics written by Joan Robinson and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2014-05-10 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contributions to Modern Economics includes contributions to two great intellectual upheavals in economic theory: the Keynesian Revolution and the revival of the classical theory of profits led by Piero Sraffa. The formation of prices in capitalist and socialist economies and of international trade is also discussed. The evolution of these ideas is linked to the personal and historical events that influenced them. Comprised of 24 chapters, this book begins by describing the second crisis of economic theory, which is related to the first crisis — the great slump of the 1930s. The reader is then introduced to the theory of money and the analysis of output; obstacles to full employment; and the concept of hoarding. Subsequent chapters explore capital, profits, and prices, with emphasis on the theory of capital, imperfect competition, and the theory of value. International trade, capitalism, and beggar-my-neighbor remedies for unemployment are also examined. This monograph should be of interest to economists.
Book Synopsis Joan Robinson: Writings on Economics by : J. Robinson
Download or read book Joan Robinson: Writings on Economics written by J. Robinson and published by Palgrave Macmillan. This book was released on 2001-12-19 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joan Robinson was one of the most prominent economists of the century. She made fundamental contributions to many different areas of economic thought. She studied economics at Girton College Cambridge, graduating in 1925. During the 1930's she published three books and participated in Keynes 'Circus'. Her early contributions to economics were extensions of neo-classical theory, and in 1933 she introduced the theory of imperfect competition. She became an ardent follower of Keynes and produced expositions of his theory. She was one of the first economists to take Marx seriously as an economist. She became Reader in Economics at Cambridge in 1956, and in the same year she published The Accumulation of Capital - in which she began to extend Keynes theory, in particular to take into consideration long-run issues of growth and capital accumulation. Her work on growth theory in 1962, alongside Nicholas Kaldor, led to them developing the Cambridge Growth Theory. She became the first ever female Fellow of Kings College, Cambridge in 1979. This collection of her writings is an excellent testament to the depth and breadth of the impact she had on economic theory as a whole.

Book Synopsis Joan Robinson's Economics by : Bill Gibson
Download or read book Joan Robinson's Economics written by Bill Gibson and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the 100th anniversary of the birth of one of the 20th century's most accomplished and controversial economists, scholars from around the world reflect on the legacy of Joan Robinson's work. Addressing Robinsonian themes in growth, money, trade and methodology, their essays provide fresh perspectives on old questions. Joan Robinson's first priority was not theoretical perfection or abstract rigor. The arcane debates of the profession had little practical relevance and became increasingly tedious to her. Ironically, much of current economic theory embraces the realism she was striving toward. Indeed, as the essays in this volume show, she was in many ways ahead of her time. The volume begins by tracing the intellectual contours of her work and discussing the people and events that shaped her thinking. The succeeding chapters address her theories on accumulation, capital, and equilibrium, her interpretation of Marx, as well as the influence of Piero Sraffa. Several chapters analyze and extend her theory of growth, illustrating the wide applicability of her approach. A compelling exploration of Joan Robinson's contributions, this volume will be of great interest to scholars interested in growth, income distribution, post-Keynesian economics, macroeconomics, history of thought, money, capital theory, international trade and finance.

Book Synopsis Collected Economic Papers by : Joan Robinson
Download or read book Collected Economic Papers written by Joan Robinson and published by Mit Press. This book was released on 1980 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joan Robinson is one of the world's foremost economists. She is well known for her radical views and enjoys a growing reputation, especially among younger economists. Robinson recently retired from her position as professor of economics at Cambridge University, where according to Business Weekshe has "held court for more than 40 years." Long recognized as a major critic of neoclassical theory, Robinson has gained an international reputation as an elucidator of the central concepts of Keynes's General Theory,relating these to Marxist thought. Challengeremarked that Robinson's "unique contribution to economics lies not only in her recognition of the full significance of the Keynesian revolution, and its relationship to Marxist theory, but also in the manner in which, on these bases, she has forged new theoretical tools to tackle a remarkable variety of economic problems." This is the first complete publication of her essays in the United States. The volumes cover the period from the early 1930s to the mid-1970s and are valuable both for their spirited writing and the challenging originality of Robinson's thought. Volume Icovers topics ranging from Euler's Theorem and problems of distribution to exchange equilibrium and international trade, and features a section devoted to expounding and defending Keynes's General Theory. Volume II,in the author's words, "belongs to the field of what is sometimes called post-Keynesian economics." Volume IIIcontains four groups of papers, the first mainly "controversial discussions of basic economic theory," the second and third developing the post-Keynesian tradition with relation to Marxist theory; the fourth contains Robinson's observations from her trips to communities in China and North Korea and her travels in India. Volume IVcontinues the debate about so-called capital theory; in the first section, developing special points in theoretical analysis and opening up questions such as the need for reconstruction of the theory of international trade; the second section contains reprints from Essays in the Theory of Employment,published in 1936. The third section reprints a little known pamphlet published by the Students Bookshop, Cambridge, in 1953. Volume Vcontains five sections: the first papers being mainly concerned with a survey of contemporary economic theory; the second consisting of two surveys of international trade and markets; the third discussing the disintegration of teaching of the Keynesian Revolution; the fourth addressing the problems of the Third World, especially India; and the fifth containing a number of papers arguing for a nondogmatic treatment of Marx. An index to all the volumes completes the collection.
