Doc Edward Morbius ββOne of #JoanRobinson's books: "What are the Questions", exploring still-rough areas of #economics.
Inscription: "To my critics."
Which speaks volumes.
A friend's turned me on to Joan Violet Maurice Robinson.
I'd sorta vaguely known who she was: economist. Woman.
Complete and total #BAMF.
Coined term "monopsony". In 1933. To describe gender-wage inequality.
I'd known the term. Not that she'd come up with it. Nor at all why.
Arugued monopies as a major force in economics. Denied Nobel, loss: Academy.
Excellent biography here with links to many significant papers and books.
