This major two volume collection of previously published articles assesses the intellectual legacy of Michal Kalecki (1899-1970), combining a selection of Kalecki's own writings with papers which evaluate and extend his work.Volume I focuses on Kalecki's work on capitalist economies, notably the effective demand, pricing and distribution of income based on the degree of monopoly, cycles and growth and the political economy of full employment. Discussion of capitalist economies, with an emphasis on money, finance and taxation continues in Volume II, which also considers Kalecki's work on socialist economies and developing economies. In the centenary year of Kalecki's birth, these volumes provide a fitting tribute to his important contributions in the fields of economics and politics.
