In this book Dr Walker brings together Dr William Jaffe's essays on
the important and interesting work of Leon Walras, the founder of
general equilibrium analysis. The essays were selected on the basis
of their importance to the Walrasian literature, in that they
provide information on Walras's intellectual biography with which
we would otherwise be unfamiliar or they make a contribution to the
interpretation and analysis of his ideas. One of Jaffe's main
interests was to explain the genesis of Walras's work, which he did
by examining Walras's biography. Using a wide variety of sources,
Jaffe pieced together an account of these matters in the belief
that biography is essential for understanding the origins and
development of a scientist's work. Jaffe corrected what he regarded
as errors of interpretation of Walras by other writers, evaluated
Walras's contributions, and indicated his significance for modern
economics. The essays are informative, illuminating, and - as a
result of Jaffe's scholarly and literary craftsmanship -
aesthetically satisfying.
