Re: A tangential request

1. One of the main branches of PK thought comes from Kalecki
who draws heavily on Marx, so the role of Marxian PE in PK
thought is much more than "rounding out."

2. That said, I'm puzzled by "some appreciation of Marx
technical skills and the value of his contribution to
theoretical debates of the 20th century" as there is already
a vast literature on that -- I just yesterday finished
teaching Schumpeter's _Capitalism Socialism and Democracy_ to
undergrads whose assessment of Marx is still pretty smart
though 60 tears old, and even people like Mark Blaug have
written thoughtful Marx-assessments, not to even begin
enumerating the lit by those more sympathetic to the Marxian
project.  Has your friend consulted this literature?

Best, Colin
