Maurice Dobb, Joan Robinson and Gerald Shove on Accumulation and the Rate of Profits

J. A. T. R. Araujo and Geoffrey Harcourt

Journal of the History of Economic Thought, 1993, vol. 15, issue 1, 1-30

Abstract: One of Joan Robinson's favorite sayings was: “As I never learnt mathematics, I have had to think.” A by-product of this characteristic is that her writings abound with striking intuitive propositions, often tossed off as asides from the flow of the main argument. We mention this aspect of Robinson's personality as the introduction to the history of one such aside.
