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.
