Memories of Joan Robinson

Chapter 41 in Joan Robinson and Modern Economic Theory, 1989, pp 877-880 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The effects of the capital theory controversy were first felt in the teaching of economics when I was a graduate student in the late 1960s. At the University of Wisconsin there were both defenders and critics of neoclassical theory. The critics did not appear to me to have any political axe to grind. They simply had an argument to present. I suffered a certain loss of faith in the logical coherence of the neoclassical theory I had learned, but the excitement generated by the debate was a great compensation.
