Chapter 12 in On Skidelsky’s Keynes and Other Essays, 2012, pp 219-239 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract I take the Cambridge approach to economics to mean the approaches of the great days of the Faculty of Economics and Politics in Cambridge (it is now, significantly, the Faculty of Economics – period). Those days were principally associated with the development of Economics as a separate Tripos1 from 1903 on and ending with the retirement, then deaths of the first generation of Keynes’s ‘pupils’ and/or close colleagues – Piero Sraffa, Joan Robinson, Austin Robinson, Richard Kahn, James Meade, Nicky Kaldor, David Champernowne and Brian Reddaway – in the 1980s and 1990s.
