The International Flow of Mathematical Economics: From Lloyd to Thompson

The Manchester School of Economic & Social Studies, 1990, vol. 58, issue 2, 165-72

Abstract: The traditional view of the early history of mathematical economics has been that the pioneers in that field were individuals who knew nothing of those who went before them and remained unknown to those who came after . . . that there was no continuity and therefore no development. This article shows that there was a continuous line of influence, beginning with Henry Lloyd and ending with Perronet Thompson, whose influence on later writers has been demonstrated elsewhere. Specifically, the line of influence ran from Lloyd to Pietro Verri, to Cesare Beccaria, to Jeremy Bentham, to Thompson.
