The paper responds to a note by Robert Dixon that in an earlier paper we had mistakenly argued that Weintraub's consumption coefficient enhances Kalecki's model and helps to elucidate trends in the secular and functional distributions of income. We demonstrate the conditions under which our...

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...
