Chapter Chapter 1 in Joan Robinson in Princely India, 2022, pp 1-9 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Joan Robinson was a great economist and an influential public intellectual. This book focuses on her earliest work and less known activities, relating directly or indirectly to economic development in the underdeveloped economies. A publication, The British Crown and the Indian States, that remained unnoticed until after the death of Joan Robinson in 1983 is the main source. It dealt with the economic relations between the British India and Princely India. This is not to say that her later work is ignored. The early contributions and experience determine the set of issues discussed here. The later work is introduced whenever an early insight or argument seems to link up with it, not only as a reflection of the intellectual development of their author but, more importantly, as essential elements of the critical perspectives presented in the following pages.
