According to  William Manchester (The Glory and the Dream, London: Michael 
Joseph, 1973, 493-8): 
 
1. The Executive Director of the IMF (Harry Dexter White) and Roosevelt's 
special assistant (Lauchlin Currie) were accused of treachery. 
2. UCLA sacked 157 professors who refused to sign a loyalty oath. 
 
Also, Paul Samuelson's textbook was targetted by the witch-hunters as was 
Lorie Tarshis'. 
 
An attempt has been made to integrate this history into the development of 
post war economics in HOPE, Spring 1997 ('The Political Economy of the 
Inflation Unemployment Trade Off'). 
 
The first co-recipients of the Nobel Prize were persecuted during World War 
Two (though not, I think, because of their economics): Frisch was in a 
concentration camp, Tinbergen was saved from starvation by Allied food air 
drops.
