Økonomen Joan Robinson er en af verdens vigtigste økonomer. Hun skrev i 1933: The Economics of Imperfect Competition. Hun introducerede monopsonimagt i den økonomiske litteratur: Der er én arbejdsgiver, som efterspørger en type arbejdskraft. Det giver arbejdsgiveren magt til at presse lønnen ned.

Which occupations carry the highest risk of sexual harassment—and who is doing the harassing?
