Description and Table of Contents

Description

This and its companion volume, "Joan Robinson and Economic Theory", are about Joan Robinson, her impact on modern economics, her challenges and critiques, and the advances made in the science and art of economics. They are about four major waves in modern economics: imperfect competition, theory of employment, theory of growth and mathematization of economic theory. They are about Joan Robinson's ideas, themes and concerns, viewed from different perspectives by those who agree and disagree with her. They present the reader with a sampling of the ongoing research at the frontiers of economics and attest to the vitality of the profound questions Joan Robinson asked. George R. Feiwel has served on the editorial board of the "Journal of Economic Literature" and is the author of more than 15 books including "The Economics of a Socialist Enterprise" and "The Soviet Quest for Economic Efficiency".
