Robinson, along with Meek, did to Marx what Samuelson did to Keynes --
show how his work could be interpreted in terms of respectable economics
by removing much that is valuable.  I doubt that either felt that they
were violating the work that they were interpreting.

I spent an afternoon with Robinson in the late 60s.  She seemed like a
wonderful woman, enthusiastic about Mao, disdainful of some of the profs.
