Opis

“Economic Theory and Market Socialism: Selected Essays of Oskar Lange”, edited by Tadeusz Kowalik (published in 1994 by Edward Elgar Publishing), is an academic volume that brings together key writings of the influential Polish economist Oskar Lange. The book is part of the Economists of the Twentieth Century series and aims to make Lange’s most important contributions to economic theory more accessible to an international readership.

The collection focuses on Lange’s work on socialist economics, central planning, and market socialism, a theoretical framework that attempts to combine public ownership of the means of production with the efficiency mechanisms of the market. Lange is widely known for his participation in the famous “socialist calculation debate,” in which economists discussed whether rational economic calculation was possible in a centrally planned economy without market prices.
