Doug, were you thinking of this? Robinson, Joan. 1972. "Richard T. Ely Lecture: The Second Crisis in Economic Theory." American Economic Review, 62 (May): pp. 1-10. 8: "The whole trouble arises from just one simple omission: when Keynes became orthodox they forgot to change the question and discuss what employment should be for."
Obviously Robinson couldn't have been referring to the man, Keynes, becoming orthodox -- otherwise the "they" would be a "he" -- but is using his name as a label for the posthumous appropriation of some of his analysis by a new orthodoxy. . -- Sandwichman
