 Programme
of the jubilee events for the great scientist centenary
WORLD OWNED
In
view of the jubilee there are tendency to attach Wassily Leontief
almost to the History of Russian Economics. It is unlikely worthy of
it: Wassily Leontief is American economist and he is going down to
the History of World Economics as the same one. We ought to remember
that the Nobel Prize in economics was presented to citizen of
America, not USSR in 1973. However Leontief’s scientific heritage as
any another great scientist’s heritage has no citizenship and it
belongs to world.
