He is in his late seventies, but other famous economists like Milton Friedman, Paul Samuelson, JK Galbraith, and Paul Sweezy, all lived into extreme old age, and they all managed to keep an active public presence, almost up to the end. Thurow, on the other hand, doesn't seem to be doing this.

I've wondered the same thing myself. He's still listed on the MIT Sloan website
https://mitsloan.mit.edu/faculty/detail.php?in_spseqno=41073
but the latest publication on their list is from 1999. Wikipedia has some more recent stuff, but not much. He's no youth, for sure.
