Michał Kalecki (22nd June 1899-18 April 1970) was one of the greatest Polish economist. He specialised in macroeconomics. (Redirected from 22nd June) June 22 is the 173rd day of the year (174th in leap years) in the Gregorian Calendar, with 192 days remaining. ... 1899 was a common year starting on Sunday (see link for calendar). ...

The word economy can refer to any of several things: The economy of the world — see world economy The economy of a country — see economics and economic system Economy is financial soundness or affordability. ... Macroeconomics is the study of the entire economy in terms of the total amount of goods and services produced, total income earned, the level of employment of productive resources, and the general behavior of prices. ...


Kalecki's works from 1933 to 1935 introduced many principles stated in John Maynard Keynes's The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money. However, as they were published in Polish language (few of them in French as well), they were thus unknown and unrecognised by the wider world. Kalecki's claim of precendence to Keynes, published in his 1936 article was again forgotten as the article was untranslated to English. 1933 was a common year starting on Sunday (link will take you to calendar). ... 1935 was a common year starting on Tuesday (link will take you to calendar). ... John Maynard Keynes John Maynard Keynes, 1st Baron Keynes of Tilton (pronounced Kaynes) (June 5, 1883 – April 21, 1946) was an English economist, whose radical ideas had a major impact on modern economic and political theory as well as Franklin D.

Polish (polski, język polski, polszczyzna) is the official language of Poland. ...


Only his later works were published in English, but the previous 2-3 years delay have cost him much fame, which fall to wider read English publications of John Maynard Keynes. Eventually, Kalecki's theories on business cycles (1935, 1937, 1939, 1943, 1954), did gain him some fame for their advancement of the use of mathematical dynamics in economics. His work also incorporated several Classical and Marxian concepts, relying extensively on the theories of "class conflict", income distribution and imperfect competition - items which would in time inspire the Cambridge Keynesians - particularly Joan Violet Robinson, Nicholas Kaldor and Richard M. Goodwin - as well as modern Post-Keynesian economics. An abstract business cycle The business cycle or economic cycle refers to the ups and downs seen somewhat simultaneously in most parts of an economy. ... Class conflict is both the friction that accompanies social relationships between members or groups of different social classes and the underlying tensions or antagonisms which exist in society. ... The Lorenz curve was developed by Max O. Lorenz in 1905 as a graphical representation of income distribution. ... In economic theory, imperfect competition, is the competitive situation in any market where the conditions necessary for perfect competition are not satisfied. ... Nicholas Kaldor (Budapest, 1908 - Papworth Everard, Cambridgeshire, 1986) was the foremost Cambridge economist in the post-war period. ...

An abstract business cycle The business cycle or economic cycle refers to the ups and downs seen somewhat simultaneously in most parts of an economy. ...


In Cost-of-production theory of value, he distinguished between sectors with "cost-determined prices" (such as manufacturing and services) and those with "demand-determined prices" (such as agriculture and raw material extraction). In economics, the cost-of-production theory of value is the belief that the value of an object is decided by the resources that went into making it. ...

Michal Kalecki (413 words)
In his lifetime, Kalecki was one of the unsung heroes of macroeconomics - and a potent lesson in why, in economics, one should always publish in English.
Although Kalecki claimed to have anticipated much of the principles stated in Keynes's General Theory, his articles (1933, 1935) were published in Polish and French and thus went unrecognized.
His work in English, notably on business cycles (1935, 1937, 1939, 1943, 1954), however, introduced him in his own stead and was notable in its advancement of the use of mathematical dynamics in economics.
