Lange laid that out in On the Economic Theory of Socialism in the section titled, "On the policy of transition." Also, available in the book Economic Theory and Market Socialism: Selected Essays of Oskar Lange, ed. Tadeusz Kowalik (Edward Elgar Publishing, 1994).
BTW a friend of mine with whom I have been working on pieces on F.A. Hayek and also on the socialist calculation debates between both Hayek verrsus Otto Neurath, and Hayek versus Lange, met Kowalik at a conference several years ago, and has kept in occasional contact with him by phone and email.

Michael: "Sachs would visit Poland briefly many times, and his main role was to create a favorable background for the great jump"
[WS:] This is not to defend Sachs, but the big jump argument was very popular in Eastern Europe at that time. Even more peculiar is the fact that this argument is borrowed (without proper credits) from Oskar Lange, who staunchly defended superiority of socialism over capitalism. Lange argued that transition from capitalism to socialism must be made at once to avoid serious disruptions of the production during the transition.
Autres temps, autres moeurs. But it does support Corey Robin's argument that reactionaries sponge off their tactic from revolutionaries.
