Einaudi 5969. Palgrave III, 653 ff. u. New Palgrave IV, 852. – Zuerst 1898 erschienene Sammlung verschiedener ökonomischer Aufsätze des berühmten französischen Ökonomen M. E. L. Walras (1834-1910). Walras begründete die Lausanner Schule und gilt als einer der führenden Vertreter der Neoklassik und Urheber des allgemeinen Gleichgewichtsmodells. – „Three-quarters of the volume are devoted to money and finance; the rest is divided into three roughly equal parts – between the study of monopolies, of agricultural studies, of industry and commerce and the ’Esquisse d’une doctrine économique et sociale’. In Part I, ‚Money‘ – more than a third of the book – Walras presents again the chapters that had been expurgated from the third edition of Éléments, the Theory of Money and half a dozen articles published in scientific journals and newspapers. The part entitled „II. Monopolies“ consists of only one substantial study dating back to 1875, ‚L‘État et les chemins de fer’, that had been turned down by the Journal des économistes. Part III contains three articles whose titles speak for themselves: ‚The influence of communication between markets on the situation of rural communities‘, ‚Applied economics and the protection of wages‘ and ‚Theory of free trade‘. Three parts follow, on credit, banking (with a text that is crucial to understand Walras’s monetary theory, ‚Mathematical theory of banknotes‘) and stock markets. The book concludes with ‚Outline of an economic and social doctrine‘“ (Faccarello & Kurz, Handbook on the History of Economic Analysis I, 256). – Sehr gutes dekorativ gebundenes Exemplar.
