Russian and Western Economic Thought Mutual Influences and Transfer of Ideas

“The present book is a rich source of information on many of these emigrants, and on their colleagues or predecessors who stayed and worked in less stimulating circumstances. The biographies run until the end of the twentieth century, because all the heroes of this book were gone when Leontief passed away in 1999. The editors and authors have produced well-written and well-documented texts on the lives and works of these economists in this wide-ranging book. I highly recommend it.” (Wilfried Parys, History of Economics Review, June 3, 2024)
