Abstract

Post-Keynesian economics is known for the several paradoxes that it uncovers by taking macroeconomics as something else than some aggre- gated model with micro-foundations. Among these paradoxes is Michal Kalecki’s paradox, which we can define as the claim that higher govern- ment deficits generate larger profits for the capitalists. Kalecki’s paradox can be derived straight from the national accounts, with a couple of simple behavioural assumptions.
