Jevons

Ken Binmore ()

Chapter Chapter 10 in Early Utilitarians, 2021, pp 51-54 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Modern economists do not take John Stuart Mill seriously as one of their founding fathers. William Jevons was the first serious economist to take up the Victorian concept of utility as envisaged by Bentham and Mill, and use it in a systematic way to obtain results that are still valued today.
