内容説明
Leon Walras (1834-1910) was one of the key thinkers behind the development of marginal utility theory and his introduction of general equilibrium theory is one of the cornerstones of modern economic thought. Now, his seminal work Etudes d'economie politique appliquee, first published in 1898, is available in English, in both hardback and paperback.
This work sits aside Elements d'economie politique pure (1874) and Etudes d'economie sociale (1896, English translation, Routledge 2010) as one of Walras' crowning achievements.
Walras's Etudes d'economie politique appliquee contains his best work on applied economics. In this book, he investigates where free competition is and is not possible, and how to organize and regulate economic life in these differing situations. Furthermore, he deals with other features that are important for the functioning of the economic system such as money, capital, credit, banking, securities markets and speculation.
This two-volume translation of a text that still holds vibrant relevance for economists today will be of immense interest to working economists and students of the history of economic thought.

内容説明
First Published in 2004. Studies in Applied Economics is an English translation of Etudes d'economie politique appliquee (1898) by Leon Walras (1834-1910). Until now, Elements d'economie politique pure (1874) was the only book by Walras available in English (Elements of Pure Economics, 1954). It contains the theory of general economic equilibrium under free competition, with the concept of utility maximization as its core. Walras's conclusion was that where free competition is possible, it should be the rule. So, in the present book, he advocates protective regulation, within which economic agents may compete freely. For water, gas or railway transport, for instance, where free competition is impossible, rules are formulated to maintain its advantages. Issues such as money, capital, credit, banking and the stock markets are also dealt with. The book's final chapter recapitulates the themes of Walras's three main works: Elements, Etudes d'economie sociale and this volume, Etudes d'economie politique appliquee. Walras's aim was to provide an economic blueprint for a social ideal where poverty and similar evils could be banished.
