Nicholas Kaldor and the Real World
First Published in 1994. Nicholas Kaldor was born in Hungary in 1908 and died as Baron Kaldor of Newnham in the City of Cambridge, England, in 1986. The years between revealed no hint of scandal or psychological problems that might make Kaldor the subject of a novel. His life was, instead, a straight line of growth and achievement, of intellectual enjoyment and strong values. Kaldor's struggles were intellectual-namely, his efforts to comprehend the economics of the real world, to fit this understanding into economic theory, and to convince his fellow citizens and economists of the accuracy of his perceptions. Kaldor forces us to ponder what the relationship between economic theory and practice should be.

Not the Devil's Decade
At the beginning of the 1930s Nicholas Kaldor (1908-1986) was a third-year undergraduate student at the London School of Economics. By the end of the decade he was an established economic theorist with an international reputation and a string of well-received publications to his name. In this paper I focus on Kaldor's four most important articles from this period: his 1934 paper on the nature of equilibrium theorising; two pieces from 1939, on the compensation principle in welfare economics and on money, finance and the consequences of speculative behaviour; and the 1940 paper setting out his Keynesian model of the trade cycle. All four articles, I argue, are of considerable continuing interest.
Nicholas Kaldor
Nicholas Kaldor (1908-1986) was one of this century's most original economic thinkers. His influence on British economic policy was second only to that of Keynes. This book traces the development of Kaldor's thought which underwent a remarkable evolution from his membership of the Austrian neoclassical school to his embracing of radical Keynesianism. He was quick to grasp essential changes in economic reality and to forge analytical tools to explain them. Although he was innovative from 1938 onwards, much of Kaldor's seminal work belongs to a coherent body of research which made him, together with Joan Robinson and Michael Kalecki, the leading representatives of the post-Keynesian school, an outstanding critic of the neoclassical theory of equilibrium, growth and distribution, and a convinced opponent of the monetarist school. The book also shows how economic policy and political economy were closely connected in Kaldor's work. It was this that made Kaldor one of the most lucid and radical champions of the economic policies which, by blending political freedom with social justice, have been the outstanding feature of the great European tradition of social democracy.
