Joan Robinson, 1903-1983

Joan Robinson, 1903-1983

Joan Violet Robinson (de soltera Maurice) pertenece al grupo de economistas más destacados del siglo XX. Líder de la "Cambridge School" fue marshalliana en origen, ardiente keynesiana y, finalmente, una destacada miembro de las escuelas neo-ricardiana y post-keynesiana.

Sus contribuciones a la literatura económica fueron muy numerosas y abordaron múltiples áreas. Joan Robinson introdujo la teoría de la competición imperfecta en su famoso libro de 1933. Después, en 1937, elaboró una fiel exposición de las ideas de Keynes. En 1942 vuelve su atención hacia la teoría marxista. Más tarde concentra su atención en problemas metodológicos.

Estuvo también muy interesada en los problemas del subdesarrollo. En los años setenta sorprendió con sus alabanzas a la "gran revolución cultural" de la China maoísta.

Profesora en la Universidad de Cambridge desde 1931, no llegó a ser catedrática hasta 1965. Nunca le dieron el Premio Nobel lo que ha sido considerado uno de los más tristes e injustos tratos deliberadamente discriminatorios.
