>>> In fact, I agree with very much of what is written here - except for some adjective which add nothing to content: insidious, for example. But the substance is right. <<< Riccardo, What are you saying? You seem to be agreeing with him that her critique of marginal productivity theory "certainly does not compensate for her [...] attempt to vanquish [...] Marx by making him appear as a proto Keynesian." This is an unbelievably narrow assessment of the contribution of Robinson to economic theory -- especially the _critique_ of economic theory. Just think of all of the other contributions that she made to theory! That she should have taken a critical standpoint towards Marx -- something that we should _all_ do, Marxists _especially_ -- is not cause for asserting that on balance she made a negative contribution to thought. In solidarity, Jerry
