ABSTRACT

Of those works that Joan Robinson wrote and in part published during the period 1931±3, there are four that significantly express her theoretical orientation: `Teaching Economics', Economics is a Serious Subject, The Economics of Imperfect Competition, and The Theory of Money and the Analysis of Output.2 Outside the Cambridge circle, Schumpeter was among the first to comment on them. He interprets them as constituent parts of a coherent programme of research, separable from each other only because they deal with matters that fall into different sectors of economics.
