Abstract

What are the Questions? Where Do We Go From Here? What Now? Such queries decorate Joan Robinson’s later policy essays. Yet the point is critical, not constructive, and one looks in vain there for a program of her own design. For the reader seeking to be led, it is slightly frustrating. Evidently, there is work to do.

I thank George Feiwel, Lucy Ferguson and Jim Rebitzer for helpful comments.
