Abstract

. During the twentieth century, Joan Robinson introduced Marx’s political economy into academic discussions of economic thought. This article argues that Robinson’s work generates a proposal for academic integrity in economic ideas through an ethical vision of Marx’s discourse and an epistemic critique of orthodox economic theory. Robinson’s research shows that economic theory has been characterized by hiding the interests of the bourgeoisie, consolidating an “unethical behavior”. Following Macfarlane’s (2009) work on virtue theory, it is possible to identify in Robinson’s production virtues that can enhance the academic integrity of economists.
