Other contributors include John Maynard Keynes Wassily Leontief Lloyd Metzler Gottfried Haberler Wassily Leontief Abba Lerner Joan Robinson Joseph A. Schumpeter and Jan Tinbergen among others.

He was awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences in 1970. One of Samuelson's many novel contributions was that he generalized and applied mathematical methods developed for the study of thermodynamics to the field of economics. His inspiration for doing so came in part from his mentor polymath Edwin Bisdwell Wilson who was a former Yale student of the founder of chemical thermodynamics Willard Gibbs.
