Joan Robinson
Joan Robinson was a prominent British economist and a key figure in the post-Keynesian economic movement. Her critiques of conventional economic theories, particularly those surrounding the Phillips Curve, challenged the prevailing views of her time. Robinson argued that the assumptions underlying the curve were flawed, famously stating that the idealized relationship could lead to disastrous policy outcomes, thus contributing significantly to debates on inflation and unemployment.
