It is high time to abandon the mainstream and take to the turbulent waters of truly dynamic analysis. - Joan Robinson

It is the business of economists, not to tell us what to do, but show why what we are doing anyway is in accord with proper principles.

The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

When I came up to Cambridge (in October 1921) to read economics, I did not have much idea of what it was about.
