Legacy

Eckstein is usually remembered today for playing a role in communism. Dr. Otto Steiger writes that:
I think that this person could be Gustav Eckstein, socialist and economist. For a broader public he is known as a critic of Rosa Luxemburg's Die Akkumulation des Kapitals. His review of this book has been printed as an appendix in all German editions of Die Akkumulation after Luxembourg's death.
