Two views on development: Austin and Joan Robinson
Article Abstract:
Austin and Joan Robinson were both concerned with development economics, and they married in 1926. They shared some common mentors such as Keynes, Pigou and Marshall, though Joan was especially influenced by Kalecki, and concerned with abstract issues compared to Austin, who was more of an applied economist. Both were concerned with development in Africa and India, and Joan was also interested in development in China. They did not interact in academic terms after the 1930s, though such an interaction would have been fruitful since they complemented each other.
