This volume includes six essays, the first
dating from 1935 and the last from 1967, by one of the outstanding
economists of our time. The economics presented in this volume is
political economy worthy of the name: a discipline which shows us the
social relations, in particular the class and group conflicts, behind
the economic quantitative relations. Michal Kalecki, as Joan Robinson
has pointed out, anticipated the Keynesian system, from a training in
the field of Marxist economics. The translation to English was executed
by the author himself, just before his death in April 1970.
