Summary

This seventh volume of the Collected Works of Michael Kalecki , one of the twentieth-century's preeminent economists, contains his empirical studies of the wartime and post-war economy in Britain and the USA, together with papers on the work of other economists and miscellanea. The work begins with his articles on the economic conditions of Britain during the Second World War, focusing on the rationing of consumption and war finance, and its post-war reconstruction. There are studies of post-War America, a collection of articles under the title "Political economy and economists," and other topics such as Polish economic planning, construction engineering, and the theory of numbers. As the final volume in the series, it concludes with a chronology of biographical information and a complete biography of Kalecki's writings from 1927 to 1987.
