Robinson established her reputation in 1933 with the publication of The Economics
of Imperfect Competition (2nd ed., 1969), in which she analyzed distribution,
allocation, and the concept of exploitation.
During the 1930s Robinson participated in the Cambridge debates that helped
promote the economic theories of John Maynard Keynes, who maintained a presence
at the university after serving in the government. In addition to teaching Keynesian
theory, Robinson wrote several books, study guides, and pamphlets designed to
introduce economic theory to the nonspecialist. In the early 1940s, however, she
began to push the Keynesian model beyond its theoretical framework, introducing
aspects of Marxist economics in books such as An Essay on Marxian Economics
(1942; 2nd ed., 1966) and Marx, Marshall, and Keynes (1955). As Robinson aged,
her left-wing sympathies grew, and ultimately she became an admirer of Mao Tse-
Tung’s China and Kim Il Sung’s North Korea.
Robinson made several trips to China, reporting her observations and analyses in
China: An Economic Perspective (1958), The Cultural Revolution in China (1969),
and Economic Management in China (1975; 3rd ed., 1976). Among the best known
of her many books are The Accumulation of Capital (1956; 3rd ed., 1969), Economic
Philosophy (1963), and Introduction to Modern Economics (1973). The five volumes
of her Collected Economic Papers (1951–79) were reprinted in 1980.
