In his fourth edition of Éléménts d'économie politique pure (1900), León Walras introduced the device of written pledges to eliminate path dependency: sellers of products and services write out commitments to supply certain quantities at suggested prices with no commodities actually produced and supplied until a set of prices is found at which supply and demand are equal simultaneously in every market. This brought about very serious alterations to the character of the book. Unfortunately, these changes resulted in an incomplete, internally contradictory, and occasionally incoherent text. This translation, therefore, by two leading scholars of León Walras' work, Donald A. Walker and Jan van Daal, revisits the third edition of this seminal work, including Walras' brilliant explanation of his comprehensive model, with all its richness derived from reality. Growing research into Walras' work indicates that it was this third edition that contained his best theoretical research and a translation of this edition of the book is now a necessity.

Elements of Pure Economics was one of the most influential works in the history of economics, and the single most important contribution to the marginal revolution. Walras' theory of general equilibrium remains one of the cornerstones of economic theory more than 100 years after it was first published.

Léon 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 Études d'économie politique appliquée, first published in 1898, is available in English, in both hardback and paperback.This work sits aside Éléménts d'économie politique pure (1874) and Études d'économie sociale (1896, English translation, Routledge 2010) as one of Walras' crowning achievements.Walras’s Études d’économie politique appliquée 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.

Léon Walras (1834–1910) is one of the four or five most important economic theorists in the history of the science. The present book is a complete English translation of the second edition (1936) of his Études d’économie sociale (1896), in which he applies economic theory to real problems, presents the essence of his normative economic ideas, and reveals himself to have also been a great thinker on human nature, justice, mores, and the structure of scientific inquiry and knowledge. The book will be of interest to researchers and postgraduate students in the area of the history of economics as well as those interested in Walrasian topics, such as social justice, taxation, intellectual property, and land ownership.

First Published in 2004. Studies in Applied Economics is an English translation of Études d’économie politique appliquée (1898) by Léon Walras (1834–1910). Until now, Éléments d’économie 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: Éléments, Études d’économie sociale and this volume, Études d’économie politique appliquée. Walras’s aim was to provide an economic blueprint for a social ideal where poverty and similar evils could be banished.

This is Volume II in a series on Studies in Applied Economics and looks at the theory of the production of social wealth in the areas of agriculture, industry, commerce banking and stock markets. The two volumes form a translation from French of Walras’s two main books, Études d’économie politique appliquée (Théorie de la production de la richesse sociale) (1898) and Études d’économie sociale (Théorie de la répar[1]tition de la richesse sociale) (1896).

" Y a-t-il, dans notre soci t , d'autre mis re que celle qui r sulte logiquement de la paresse, de l'inintelligence ou des revers de la fortune ? Y a-t-il d'autre richesse que celle qui prend l gitimement sa source, quelque degr que ce puisse tre, dans le travail, dans le talent ou dans le succ s, et proportionnellement ces causes ? Sans d sordre, en sauvegardant int gralement les droits naturels et sacr s de la propri t , de la famille, ne pourrions-nous approcher davantage de l'esprit de la justice sociale exprim po tiquement par ce mot admirable de Platon, principe de toute galit vraie, formule de toute d mocratie rationnelle: -N'emp chez pas les fils des esclaves de s' lever au rang des rots; n'emp chez pas les fils des rois de tomber au rang des esclaves ?"
