Joan Robinson: A Memoir

Edward Nell

Chapter 43 in Joan Robinson and Modern Economic Theory, 1989, pp 892-894 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract When I first met her in the fifties, I liked to think of Joan playing opposite Humphrey Bogart in a John Huston film about the Resistance. She’d have been perfect — black clothes and red stockings, a commanding presence, cool, tough, single-mindedly loyal, fiercely partisan. Strong progressive opinions, but no nonsense about accepting dogmas, Marxist or otherwise. Critical of bourgeois society and its hypocrisy. A fighter, fearless and tough as they come.
