Kalecki: The Socialist Economist

Julio G. López and Michaël Assous

Chapter 9 in Michal Kalecki, 2010, pp 192-213 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Kalecki was a convinced socialist during his whole lifetime. He was part of that fascinating group of Central and Eastern European intellectuals that suffered directly from the ravages ensuing from the great crisis of the 1930s, who were greatly influenced by Marx’s ideas. We must keep in mind, though, that during the formative years of that group, Marxism was a very vital intellectual current. Outside of the Soviet Union and the communist parties — of which Kalecki was never a member1 — there was not an “official” Marxist school of thought, with enough power to impose its own theoretical vision above the rest.
