In the history of business, Wassily Leontief is one of the names that keeps returning.
The record lists Wassily Leontief as Russian economist (1906-1999).
Wassily Leontief was born at Munich in 1906. His recorded nationality is the Russian Empire. He was educated at Saint Petersburg State University and Harvard University.
Around the turn of the twentieth century, national institutions, mass media and mass politics changed both the scale of a career and its risks.
Wassily Leontief is described as economist, statistician and pedagogue.
His affiliations include New York University, Kiel University and Harvard University.
Wassily Leontief is associated first and foremost with research on input–output analysis and how changes in one economic sector may affect other sectors. Business reputations are unusually sensitive to the decade in which they were made.
His recorded fields of work are economics and macroeconomics.
Formal recognition came in the shape of the Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel (1973).
That the work was done from the Russian Empire matters. Opportunity has never been evenly distributed, and where a person is based shapes which doors open and whose work gets seen.
Death came in 1999, at 93. By then the contribution had passed into the settled record.
