	::: Welcome to Robinson :::
		Robinson is well-known among orthodox colleagues for her Economics of Imperfect Competition (Macmillan, 1933), the concepts of which are still taught to first-year students of economics.
		However, when asked what Joan Robinson's most significant contribution had been, Frank Hahn's response, who had been both a colleague and an adversary at the University of Cambridge in England, was that her contribution was in monetary economics.
		In these chapters, Joan Robinson shows her admirable understanding of the complexities of the financial world, and her ability to propose an innovative and comprehensive view of the links between the financial system and the macroeconomy.

	Joan Robinson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Joan Violet Robinson (1903 in Surrey - 1983) was a Keynesian economist who was well known for her knowledge of monetary economics and wide-ranging contributions to economic theory.
		As a member of the "Cambridge School" of economics, Robinson assisted with the support and exposition of Keynes' General Theory, writing especially on its employment implications in 1936 and 1937 (in the midst of the Great Depression it tried to explain).
		In 1949, she was invited by Ragnar Frisch to become the vice president of the Econometric Society but declined because she couldn't be part of the editorial committee on a journal she couldn't read.

	JOAN ROBINSON
		One of the most prominent economists of the century, Joan Robinson incarnated the "Cambridge School" in most of its guises in the 20th century: as a cutting-edge Marshallian before and after 1936; as one of the earliest and most ardent Keynesians and finally as one of the leaders of the Neo-Ricardian and Post Keynesian schools.
		Robinson's early contributions tended to be fundamental extensions of Neoclassical theory: her 1941 paper on the theory of cost actually served, paradoxically, to assist Neoclassical general equilibrium theory dodge Piero Sraffa's (1926) critique (which is why it elicited so much praise from Viner).
		Robinson was quick to move on beyond her theory of imperfect competition - in spite of the fact that its success in modern textbooks.

	Joan Violet Robinson, Biography: The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics: Library of Economics and Liberty
		British economist Joan Robinson was arguably the only woman born before 1940 who can be considered a great economist.
		Later in the thirties Robinson became part of the "Cambridge Circus," a group of young economists that included later Nobel Prize-winner James Meade; Roy Harrod; Richard Kahn; her husband, Austin Robinson; and Piero Sraffa.
		Robinson was the first to define macroeconomics, which became a separate field of inquiry only with Keynes's book, as the "theory of output as a whole."

		Robinson's roots in teaching stem from the fact that she was "supposed to be an artist, but I didn't have any great ideas." In fact, she began her love of art and teaching as a docent in a local museum.
		Robinson began her special area of research about art related to the Vietnam War era in 1983, inspired by artist Maya Lin's design of the Washington D.C. Vietnam Wall Memorial.
		Robinson's enthusiasm for teaching and art extends into other areas of her life: cooking and family.

		He explained his plan to Joan Robinson, who asked for a preliminary draft before approaching Pigou and Robertson, and suggested that some people at the London School of Economics might sign (this hope, however, eventually proved groundless) (Robinson to Harrod, letter 286 R of 25 February).
		Joan Robinson suggested to substitute this sentence by "In these circumstances more far-reaching action is necessary in order to revive demand" (in JMK A/33/1/131-32).
		Joan Robinson joked on having been qualified as director of studies of Peterhouse: letter to Harrod of 10 March 1933, in HP IV-1270-1303/32.

	[No title]
		Joan Robinson (1903-1983), a leading figure within the post-Keynesian school, worked along exactly the same lines as Harrod in extending Keynes’ General Theory into the long period, relaxing his assumption of a fixed capital stock.
		Robinson was one of many economists who used the term “knife edge” to refer to the instability characteristic of Harrod’s theory.
		Robinson’s argument that the rate of profit should be regarded as an endogenous variable in a theory of macrodynamics is the result of her transforming Harrod’s fundamental equations, replacing his incremental capital-output ratio with v, the ratio of the total capital stock to total output.

	Joan Robinson's View on Teaching Economics
		Robinson's continuing theoretical emphasis on history, is not coincidentally, one that views the responsibility of the teacher as one of helping the student develop, in the context of history and economics, the type of analytical, problem solving and valuing skills that encourage the student to become an independent thinker.
		In a 1953 article entitled "An open letter from a Keynesian to a Marxist," she writes, I was brought up at Cambridge, as I told you, in a period when vulgar economics had reached the very depth of vulgarity.
		Given her view that the theory and methodology of economics must necessarily be responsive to actual hsitorical circumstances, it would seem inconsistent for her to teach economics, as if one all-encompassing theory had been discovered.

		Joan began to pen a series of stories about a little girl called Deborah and her teddy bear, hoping that children would substitute the name of their own bear in place of Teddy Robinson.
		Joan's husband, Richard G Robinson, was also a writer and illustrator and as well as designing the books and frontispieces, helped with much of the drawing, especially prams, cars, cows and fences.
		One of the reasons why Joan refused to take Teddy Robinson along to book signings or for publicity photos was that she used artistic licence to alter the bear somewhat.

	CAMBRIDGE KEYNESIANS
		Their origin stems from the inner circle, the five members of Keynes's "Circus" at Cambridge -- Joan Robinson, Richard Kahn, Piero Sraffa, Austin Robinson and James Meade -- got together to read Keynes's Treatise soon after it appeared in 1930 and thereafter commented on the successive drafts of the General Theory before it was published.
		In the course of this research effort, several of the Cambridge Keynesians, particularly Joan Robinson and Nicholas Kaldor, began reorienting themselves more distinctly and inching towards an integration of Keynes's theory and Classical political economy.
		Although it followed upon Joan Robinson's original queries about capital aggregation (1954, 1956), Sraffa's "capital critique" set the radical "counter-revolutionary" tone of the Cambridge Capital Controversy that ensued with the American Neo-Keynesians.
