WASSILY LEONTIEF AND INPUT-OUTPUT ANALYSIS (2006)
Foreword by Paul A. Samuelson
                                                       Dr. K.Puttaswamaiah Editor,

Prof .Wassily Leontief received the Nobel Prize in economics in the 5" year (1973) after it was instituted in 1969.Since Leontief’s name is associated with input-output analysis, it's theory and applications are well brought out in this book and the contributions are mainly from authors of China and Japan who are connected with the Input-Output association (IIOA) and other Institutions and Universities in Beijing, China.. The article by G. Abraham- Frois and E.Lendjel, Professors in France have something new to say that the input-output analysis was founded much earlier than the contributions of Prof.Leontief.This is a matter to be debated. However, Prof Paul A. Sameulson, the second year Nobel Laureate (1970) in his foreword has said about Leontief that 'Leontief created quite a contemporary stir called Leontief Paradox --Leontief was affably genial'.
