	Wassily Leontief, Economist Who Won a Nobel, Dies at 93
		Leontief was a thinker who often complained that too many of his academic colleagues spent too much time staring out their office windows instead of being out in the field, as any good economist ought to be, counting things.
		Wassily Leontief was born Aug. 5, 1905, in St. Petersburg, the son of Wassily W. Leontief, an economist, and the former Eugenia Bekker.
		To Leontief, it seemed short-sighted for nations to devote little or no thought to the analysis of the future of the overall economy, especially after what he regarded as the effective work of modern economists in devising projections that are mathematically and statistically sound.

		Wassily W. Leontief was born in St. Petersburg in 1906, and studied at the university there (then named the University of Leningrad) and at the University of Berlin (Ph.D., 1928).
		Leontief cut through this with boldly chosen simplifying assumptions, especially that inputs could not be substituted for each other - practically, that the observed amount of such substitution in the typical industry is small enough to be ignored.
		Leontief's computational breakthrough was owed to Charles Wilbur of MIT, who was developing a mechanical computer that could solve up to nine simultaneous linear equations in the breathtaking time of three or four hours.

		Wassily Leontief, who won the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1973 for his input-output model of microeconomics, died in New York last Friday at the age of 93.
		Wassily was a member of the Harvard faculty from 1931 to 1975, when he left with some of his best students for NYU, in large part because Harvard refused to award tenure to any scholar whose field was Marxist economics.
		Wassily never penetrated the fl box of bureaucracy, the fl box inside of which all governments hide what substitutes for a heart, and that, I think, is what his story is about, and why he liked it so well.

	Wassily Leontief
		Input-output was partly inspired by the Marxian and Walrasian analysis of general equilibrium via interindustry flows - which in turn were inspired by Francois Quesnay's Tableau Economique, and was the outgrowth of the 'multi-sectoral' approach followed by the Kiel School.
		The structure of input-output (albeit with some critical differences) was employed by Piero Sraffa and the Neo-Ricardians in the 1960s to resurrect the theories of David Ricardo and Karl Marx.
		After having presided, together with Joseph Schumpeter, as a teacher over the Harvard generation of the 1930s which was to develop much of post-war economics, Leontief moved to the C.V. Starr Center at New York University.
