Abstract: Abstract Throughout his career, Malcolm Sawyer has maintained an active interest in the development and promulgation of Kaleckian macroeconomics. In Macro-Economics in Question (Sawyer, 1982), he advocated a Kaleckian alternative to mainstream Keynesianism and monetarism, featuring: (i) explicit description of cost-plus pricing by firms and wage bargaining by workers in a non-marginalist theory of value and distribution; and (ii) the importance of both accelerator effects and (following Kalecki’s principle of increasing risk) the rate of profit for the determination of aggregate investment. Both of these are now staple features of the canonical Kaleckian model of growth and distribution.1
