Duncan Foley and Lance Taylor, who were recently honored with Tufts University’s Leontieff Prize, were recently interviewed for the Boston Globe. The article, available here, discusses not only their personal backgrounds and career contributions, but also their views on current major economic issues.
The Leontief Prize, awarded annually, in memory of Wassily Leontief, “is designed to recognize outstanding contributions to economic theory that address contemporary realities and support just and sustainable societies.” Foley and Taylor were the 2014 recepients, adding them to a long list of extraordinary scholars.
