[Economics] Joan Robinson: Economist remembered with blue plaque in Notting Hill

[GL HERO SHIMA]

An economist described as "one of the most influential theorists of her time" has had a blue plaque erected on her former west London home.

Joan Robinson has been recognised with a plaque at 44 Kensington Park Gardens in Notting Hill.

She lived at the address with her parents and sisters from 1919.

While living there she volunteered to help unemployed people during the post-war depression - which was pivotal in her decision to study economics.

Howard Spencer, senior blue plaque historian, described Robinson as a "trailblazer" for women in the economic field.
