Dealer Notes
The complete Collected Works of Michał Kalecki (1899–1970), one of the most original and influential economists of the twentieth century. Kalecki anticipated key elements of Keynes’s General Theory and developed a distinct framework for understanding capitalist dynamics, cycles, and growth, while also making lasting contributions to the economics of socialism and development.

This definitive six-volume edition, published by PWE between 1979 and 1988 under the editorship of Jerzy Osiatyński, collects Kalecki’s major writings in both Polish and English translation, together with lesser-known essays and a comprehensive bibliography. It remains the standard reference edition for Kalecki scholarship worldwide.
