Introduction to the theory of employment / by Joan Robinson.

This is a reprint of a reissue (1947) of the First Edition (1937). In a note following her Foreword, the author writes, "War-time experience, and the general acceptance of full employment as an object of policy, have set the problems discussed in this book in a new light. If it were to be written ow, much of it would be written differently. But partial alterations to bring it up to date would be confusing, and I think that the best introduction to the ideas which it attempts to expound is to see them in the historical setting in which they were first developed. I have therefore made no alteration in the text of the first edition."

"The purpose of this book is to provide a simplified account of the main principles of the of the Theory of Employment for students who find that they require some help in assimilating Mr. Keynes' General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money, and the literature which is growing round it." -- from the author's Foreword
