        Richard Roehl asked: 
 
>Wasn't Kondratieff imprisioned for his views on business cycles? 
 
        The government sent Kondratiev to a prison camp in Siberia in 1931. 
According to a biographical account by Natalia Makasheva, Kondratiev was 
executed there in 1938. 
        I learned this from Judy Klein's very interesting presentation to 
the Veblen Society on September 27, 1997 on "Statistical Modeling as a 
Political Act: Kondratiev and Slutsky at the Moscow Conjuncture Institute." 
Her paper explains why Slutsky got away with modeling capitalism as a 
stationary cyclical process and why his colleague Kondratiev did not. 
        You may want to contact Judy Klein for further information.
