Leon Walras's Mathematical Economics and the Mechanical Analogies

Albert Jolink and Jan Van Daal

Journal of the History of Economic Thought, 1989, vol. 11, issue 1, 25-32

Abstract: In April 1909 Léon Walras (1834–1910) presented his last lecture before the Société Vaudoise des Sciences Naturelles at Lausanne. The subject dealt with in this lecture was the analogy between the mathematics used in economics and that employed in mechanics; it is reformulated in what turned out to be one of Walras's last publications, entitled ‘Economique et Mécanique.’
