Collected Works of Michal Kalecki Volume V: Developing Economies

This is the fifth of seven volumes comprising the definitive scholarly edition of the works of Michal Kalecki, one of the most distinguished 20th-century economists. This volume contains Kalecki's studies on the theory and practice of economic development. It discusses general problems of economic underdevelopment, includes "Observations on Social and Economic Aspects of 'Intermediate Regimes'" and two other papers as equally important for the understanding of Kalecki's approach to problems of the underdeveloped non-socialist countries. This work includes his four empirical case studies on development problems of Israel, India, Cuba, and Bolivia. As in the case of his work on the capitalist and the socialist economies, his studies on the economic development of underdeveloped countries are deeply rooted in their specific social and political conditions.

Jerzy Osiatynski is Professor of Economics at the Institute of History of Science, Education, and Technology of the Polish Academy of Sciences.
