Description

Economic Philosophy by Joan Robinson offers a penetrating examination of how economic thought perpetually straddles the line between objective science and ideological doctrine. Robinson, one of the twentieth century's most influential economists, dissects the discipline with her characteristic clarity and directness, exposing the tension between pure economic theory and the values that shape it. Originally a pivotal figure in the post-war Cambridge School of economics, Robinson brought revolutionary insights to international trade and development economics. This Routledge Classics edition presents her argument that understanding economics requires recognising its fundamental contradictions. Robinson criticises early economic thinkers including Adam Smith, revealing how their frameworks embedded particular assumptions about capitalism and human behaviour. Her work remains essential reading for anyone seeking to understand not just what economists believe, but why they believe it and whose interests their theories serve. The book combines rigorous intellectual analysis with accessible prose, making complex philosophical questions about economic science genuinely comprehensible to thoughtful readers.

Key Features

Joan Robinson's Economic Philosophy examines the boundary between economics as objective science and economics as disguised ideology within the discipline.

This Routledge Classics edition presents Robinson's critique of early economists like Adam Smith and their foundational assumptions about free-market capitalism.

The book draws on Robinson's expertise in international trade and development economics from her influential work with the Cambridge School.

Robinson's vivid and pellucid writing style makes philosophical and methodological questions about economic theory accessible to general readers.
