Abstract

The Accumulation of Capital (1956) was intended to be Joan Robinson’s magnum opus. It grew out of the advances she was making on many fronts in the years of World War II and afterwards.1 The major influences on her were Keynes (of course), her work on Marx placed within a fruitful setting and approach by Kalecki,2 Harrod’s seminal work on dynamic theory just before (1939) and soon after the end of the war (1948), pressing real world problems associated with the post-war reconstruction of Europe and the emergence of consciousness about development in underdeveloped societies in the economics profession of the developed societies.
