There is a chapter on this (and Stigler's 'neglect is the highway to oblivion' response to imperfect competition) in   

Leeson, R. 2000. *The Eclipse of Keynesianism: The Political Economy of the Chicago Counter-Revolution*. Basingstoke, England: Palgrave Macmillan.

Subject: [SHOE] imperfect competition in textbooks

I have a question that only historians of economics can answer.

After Joan Robinson published her imperfect competition book 
in 1933, how long did it take for economics text books to 
add a chapter on imperfect competition? I have the fourth 
edition of Boulding's micro text and it has it but that one 
is rather late.

Did this have to take until explicit micro vs. macro texts 
started to appear? So far we have only be able to put that 
in the late 1940s.
