chronology inconsistent
The chronology of this article is inconsistent. It claims she visited China during the second world war and during this time praised the Cultural Revolution. However, the Cultural Revolution wasn't going on until twenty years later. Is it possible that she merely praised the Communist revolution? I don't know anything about Joan Robinson, but that paragraph seems wrong to a naive reader like myself. 24.81.138.180 07:38, 2 March 2006 (UTC) Dylan Tisdall (dylan@geeky.net)
"During the Second World War, Joan Robinson worked on a few different Committees for the Wartime Labour Government. During this time, she visited Soviet Union as well as China. She developed an interest in underdeveloped and developing nations and contributed a lot that is now understood in this section of economics. At that time, she praised the Chinese Cultural Revolution."
- It looks like the entry means the time during which she contributed to development economics by "at that time," not during world war 2. Her writings on development span a few decades which would include the time of the GPCR.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.35.245.89 (talk • contribs) 19:34, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

The article says she had two "recorded daughters". Does that imply that she may have had other children who were not recorded? Psychlist (talk) 14:45, 26 March 2018 (UTC)
