Hard question to answer. Now had you asked what a Marxist could learn from
Kalecki and/or Post-Keynesians, then it would be easier for me at least to
offer an opinion.
Perhaps the best that we can learn from Keynes is that a large part of his
critique of "the classics" has validity. And perhaps also, given the
supply-orientated perspectives of many Marxists, we need to re-discover
what Marx already was aware of: i.e. the need to reject Say's Law and the
importance of aggregate demand in the reproduction process. Thus, perhaps
the legacy of Keynes suggests that Marxists need to re-discover and
re-access Volume 2 of _Capital_.
