"These essays and addresses are selected from the work of fifty years. In the Reminiscences that serve as an introduction, Joan Robinson tells of her disillusionment with Imperfect Competition, her involvement in the Keynesian Revolution, with subsequent developments of it, especially in the sphere of international trade, and the great awakening that followed Piero Sraffa's re-interpretation of Ricardo. Joan Robinson has been able, with the aid of Michal Kalecki, to link u p the revolution in so-called capital theory with Keynesian effective demand in a general analysis of the long-run and short-run aspects of the process of capital accumulation, and the evolution of prices. Her contribution to this synthesis is unique and valuable in relating theory to actual problems." -- from back cover
