    Nicholson, ‘Changes in Real Incomes, 1938–1940’ 1942, pp. 9–10. Nicholson was careful to distinguish differences in the cost of income for various classes of income, due to different patterns of consumption in those classes.

  19. 19.

    Kalecki ‘The Burden on Wages and Other Incomes’ 1942c, p. 11. In Studies in War Economics, a collection of the papers from the Bulletin of the Oxford Institute published in 1947, Nicholson edited out the final paragraph, containing this conclusion, from Kalecki’s note, and added to his own note a table showing the cost of the war in terms of ‘potential income’ by class of income. The version in Volume VII of the Kalecki Collected Works is Kalecki’s original note as published in 1942 in the Bulletin.

    Letter of J.M. Keynes to Edward Hulton 13 January 1942, Keynes Papers L/42/8 and L/42/9. Keynes cannot of course have been referring to Kalecki’s notion of ‘potential income,’ which was Kalecki’s alone and which therefore could not have been known to anyone outside the Oxford Institute.
