In February 1936 John Maynard Keynes gave birth to modern macroeconomics when he published The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money. In some ways Oskar Lange seemed also very critical of mainstream neoclassical thinking although known as a working marginalist for the greater part of his life. In this paper we try to identify what Lange might have had to say of Keynesian nature especially in an important contribution from 1938 where he gave his interpretative review of The General Theory.
