Robert Lekachman

Robert Lekachman

Robert Lekachman (1920 – 14 January 1989) was an economist known for his extensive advocacy of state intervention, and for a debating style characterized by slow, sing-song speech and circumlocution.

Lekachman was also noted for an interpretation of Keynes's "General Theory" that made central its rejection of Say's Law (in favor of Walras' law).
