Michal Kalecki, 1899-1970. In his lifetime, Polish economist Michal Kalecki was one of the unsung heroes of macroeconomics - and a potent lesson in why, in economics, one should always publish in English. Although Kalecki claimed to have anticipated much of the principles stated in Keynes's General Theory, his articles (1933.
Real business cycle theories (RBC theory) are a class of macroeconomic models in which business cycle fluctuations to a large extent can be accounted for by real (in contrast to nominal) shocks. Unlike other leading theories of the business cycle, RBC theory sees recessions and periods of economic growth as the efficient response to exogenous changes in the real economic environment.
The Samuelson-Hicks theory of Chapter 7 is an example of the treatment of oscillations in macro-economic quantities in period terms. The period analysis is particularly well developed in this model and full advantage is taken—or can be taken—of the many kinds of distributed lags which can arise in the operation of the multiplier and accelerator.
In his Essays in the Theory of Business Cycle published in Polish in 1933, Kalecki clearly stated the principle of effective demand in mathematical form. By 1935 he outlined his theory of employment, demolished the then-orthodox remedy for a depression-that is, wage cutting-and pinpointed the importance of investment for economic dynamics.

The more capital stock is available, the more intense the negative effect of the capital stock on investment.

Michal Kalecki's theories of tax incidence and the business cycle are integrated to demonstrate how the amplitude of the business cycle is affected by the taxation of wages and profits. The impact of taxation depends on the stage of the cycle, the economy's long-run position, the direction of tax policy, and the process and degree of tax shifting.
