Summary: "Since Kayenes's General Theory the centre of interest in economics has shifted from problems of short-period fluctuations (booms and slumps) to long-run development, but a systematic treatment of the subject showing the relations of the analysis of the long-run trend of an economy to the short-period theory on the one side, and to static theory on the other, has been almost entirely lacking. In this standard work Mrs. Robinson goes back to the beginning and works out the basic theory that is needed for a coherent treatment of the problems that present themselves in a developing economy." -- back cover.
