Dear Professor,

I think the superior work on this question was done by Ronald Meek in his essay "Economics and Ideology" (in Meek, R. 1967. Economics and Ideology and Other Essays, Chapman and Hall Ltd, London). He considers Joan Robinson's work that you mention, as well as Schumpeter's and Lange's, and I think carefully points out their arguments and the distinctions between them.

« we see that the incentive to invest is given from the outside the economics proper: through sudden bursts of optimism or pessimist, or by the definition of what we may call “the capitalist spirit.” »

N’est pas là qu’il serait fructueux de convoquer Daniel Kahneman ? Je n’ai jamais oublié un cours de Gilles Gaston Granger - GGG - «  vous les économistes quand nous ne savez pas expliquer quelque chose vous faites appel à la Psychologie ». Autrement dit vous tapez en touche comme on dit au 🏉.
