L’article évalue les apports d’Etienne Vacherot et d’Augustin Cournot à la philosophie de Léon Walras. Il montre que Walras n’a pas apprécié à sa juste valeur ce qu’il devait à la philosophie de Cournot, dont il est aussi tributaire par le biais de celle de Vacherot, laquelle emprunte abondamment à l’auteur des Recherches. L’article apprécie la man...

This article examines the way Vilfredo Pareto addresses the dynamics of social equilibrium and the evolution of economic institutions based on the principle of the rupture of the Machiavellian Moment. In the first part, we analyze why and how Pareto’s categories (residues, derivations, interests, \social heterogeneity, logical actions , and non-log...

The aim of this paper is to reassess the contributions of Barone to the theory of marginal productivity. While Walras chooses to minimize the production costs to demonstrate the validity of the theorem, Barone prefers to use the principle of profit maximization. However, that difference of reasoning was not often underlie in the history of economic...

L'article réévalue les apports de Barone à la théorie de la productivité marginale. Alors que Walras choisit de minimiser les coûts de production pour démontrer la validité du théorème des productivités marginales Barone préfère maximiser les profits. Cette différence a été peu soulignée par les historiens de la pensée économique. Nous revisitons l...

This article revisits the reasons why Leon Walras did not give enough consideration to the economic and analysis of Adolphe Landry. Both were fervent defenders of socialism and their recommendations for social economics are based on thorough economic analysis. We show that Walras did not evaluate Landry’s work fairly because of various methodologic...
