Rosa Luxemburg, Oskar Lange and Michał Kalecki made important contributions to twentieth century political economy that guided the thinking of their student Tadeusz Kowalik and his reinterpretation of the Keynesian Revolution. A wide range of contributors to this volume, including G.C. Harcourt and Peter Kriesler, Noemi Levy-Orlik, Gabriele Pastrello, Paul Zarembka, John Bellamy Foster, Roberto Lampa, Meghnad Desai, Marcin Kula, Jo Michell and Andrew Trigg, re-examine the theories of Luxemburg, Lange, Kalecki and Kowalik, by highlighting the common themes in their political economy and the neglected aspects of their work that Kowalik brought together in his writings.
