Achille Nicolas Isnard (1749-1803) an engineer with a keen interest
in political economy, is best known for demonstrating the concept
of market equilibrium using a system of simultaneous equations. The
breadth and depth of his work undoubtedly established him as one of
the forerunners of modern mathematical economics, yet his seminal
contributions to the study of economics remained largely
unrecognized until the latter half of the twentieth century. This
pioneering new book, the first in English, examines Isnard's life
and illuminates his major contributions to political economy. It
contains substantial extracts from a number of his publications
presented both in English translation and in the original French so
Isnard can now finally achieve his place at the heart of discussion
on the origins of mathematical economics. The diverse issues
covered here will ensure that this book appeals not only to
economists with an interest in the history of mathematical
economics, but to anyone interested in the emergence of political
economy and in wider social thought during the Enlightenment.
