It is the first attempt of which I am aware to deal with the complexity of Joan Robinson's contributions to Cambridge economics in the 1930s. Robinson is an iconic figure, and a series of legends-mostly created by Robinson herself in a complex process of personality and career formation-makes such a historical reconstruction necessary. 'Necessary' is the right word, since the entire history of what is now called macroeconomics, and a number of elements of the history of neoclassical economics in the pre-Second World War period, have been told from the perspective of Cambridge, England, by individuals engaged in defending the Cambridge tradition.\" -- E. Roy Weintraub, author of How Economics Became a Mathematical Science \"The Provocative Joan Robinson is an engaging, insightful, and highly original treatment of a significant figure and community in the history of economics.\" -- Steven G.
