Famous Polish economist whose theories preceded Keynes, was purged in 1968? shortly before I arrived there for a diploma course in eco. planning. He assumed, tellingly, that workers don't/can't save. This is confirmed by data and personal stories in Hungary, which had similar command economy as Poland, by evidence collected by James Michener for his historical novel/creative non-fiction novel The Bridge at Andau. Basically, (Polish) or Socialist workers were kept as virtual slaves at near starvation level. Kalecki died in 1970 -- a year after I returned to Burma. I did not get to meet him as he was in forced retirement due to his Jewish origins. I did see Joan Robinson (from a distance) who came to Burma and was hosted by my professors, Dr. Ronald Findlay and Dr. U Aye Hlaing.
