Joan Violet Robinson FBA (née Maurice; 31 October 1903 – 5 August 1983) was a British economist known for her wide-ranging contributions to economic theory. One of the most prominent economists of the century, Joan Robinson incarnated the "Cambridge School" in most of its guises in the 20th century. She started out as a Marshallian; became, after 1936, one of the earliest and most ardent Keynesians; and ended up as a leader of the Neo-Ricardian and Post-Keynesian schools.
