Abstract: Abstract The concept of static stability and its conditions, as defined by Professor Hicks in Value and Capital,1 have received a great deal of attention in the literature.2 Most of the discussion has been conducted in terms of the validity of a purely static stability analysis and its relationship to dynamic stability properties. This paper poses the question whether there is not a fundamental ambiguity in the definition of Hicksian perfect stability for a given market equilibrium which makes the concept treacherous analytically.
