This paper examines critically the contributions of Cournot, Jevons and Walras as the founders of classical mathematical economics from a methodological standpoint. Advances in different economic schools and doctrines in the 19th century produced an environment of multi-dimensionality in economic analysis which was regarded by the pioneers of classical mathematical economists as a chaotic state...

The algebra of logic developed by Boole was not Boolean algebra. In this article we give a natural framework that allows one to easily reconstruct his algebra and see the difficulties it created for his successors. It is well known that modern Boolean algebra is connected with the work of George Boole [1815–1864], namely with his two books on a mathematical treatment of logic: • The Mathematica...

Several commentators have argued that the Economics-Made-Fun (“EMF”) genre contains very little actual economics. As such, it would seem that criticisms of EMF do not apply economics more broadly. In this paper I take a contrary view, arguing that, in fact, at a deep conceptual level, the engine of EMF analyses is precisely the engine of mainstream economics. Specifically, I argue that both EMF...

In the glorious decade running from 1871 to 1881, Jevons, Walras, and Edgeworth laid the foundations of most modern microeconomic analysis: in his Theory of Political Economy (1 edition 1871, 2 edition 1879; henceforth TPE ), not only did Jevons formalise for the …rst time, by means of his celebrated "equations of exchange", the conditions de…ning the equilibrium of a pure-exchange two-commodit...

Early in this century economists began using the new statistical techniques of correlation and regression developed in biometrics. Thus began a period of uninterrupted growth in what became known as econometrics. ’ There were precedents. Long before, Cournot and Jevons had proposed several “econometric” projects. The statistical methods underpinning these projects had originated in astronomy. O...
