Abstract
This chapter discusses the importance of Oskar Lange as a theoretician of historical materialism. The range of theoretical and political interests of Lange, the economist, is unusually diversified, probably for three reasons; (1) It must serve the changing requirements of social practice; (2) Lange, the academician, has made the socialist ideal the supreme value of his life; and (3) Lange, the revolutionary, cannot imagine social progress without a permanent revolution in science, without a constant perfection of scientific methods. Analysis of the capitalist economy, the economic theory of the socialist economy, theory and history of economic development, theory of reproduction and accumulation, theory of economic growth and economic problems of underdeveloped countries, econometric models are a few of Lange's fields of interests as an economist.
