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 (1875–1916), socialist (marxian revisionist) 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.[2]
