The article presents information on the book "Essays in the Theory of Employment," by Joan Robinson. An articulate and keen disciple of Keynes, Robinson wrote in 1936 a number of essays elaborating the system of thought which Keynes introduced. A new edition, with virtually no changes, has now been published in England and imported by Macmillan. The work is technical, closely reasoned, and in the abstract vein common to both Keynes and the classicists whose conclusions he opposed. A book for economists and their libraries; other adventurous minds may sharpen their wits on it but should not regard the conclusions as gospel. The article also presents information on the books "Our Plundered Planet," by Fairfield Osborn.
