Extract

More than sixty-five years have passed since Michal Kalecki (1935) published one of the first formal mathematical models of business cycles. His paper presents a closed-form analytic solution. This characteristic, among others, sets Kalecki's work apart from that of contemporary literary business cycle theorists such as Friedrich A. Hayek (1935) and John Maynard Keynes (1936).
