She was a theorist par excellence, making outstanding contributions to the understanding of competition, aggregate demand and capital. At the same time, she developed an interest in underdeveloped economies and alternatives to capitalism that eventually produced a long list of writings on China between the 1950's to the 1970's. These writings were neither theoretical nor empirical, but a series of opinion pieces and reports. Yet it is these writings that arguably cost Joan Robinson the Nobel Memorial Prize in economics. This short book reviews those writings and comments on what has happened since with regard to China?s development, Joan Robinson's interpretation and predictions, and how her 1950's lectures in China match up to China?s policies since Mao. This book will be of interest to students and scholars interested in how the history of economic thought can inform and progress development economics. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in the History of Economic Thought,$x2662-6578 606 $aEconomic history 606 $aDevelopment economics 606 $aSchools of economics 606 $aHistory of Economic Thought/Methodology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W28000 606 $aDevelopment Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W42000 606 $aHeterodox Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W53000 615 0$aEconomic history. 615 0$aDevelopment economics. 615 0$aSchools of economics. 615 14$aHistory of Economic Thought/Methodology. 615 24$aDevelopment Economics. 615 24$aHeterodox Economics. 676 $a338.9 676 $a330.092 700 $aTahir$b Pervez$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0954314 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910364949303321 996 $aMaking Sense of Joan Robinson on China$92158492 997 $aUNINA
