Product Description
If any single characteristic differentiates current, neoclassical economics from the classical economics of Adam Smith and David Ricardo, it is the use of mathematics. Pointing to the critical role of William Stanley Jevons (1835-1882), Margaret Schabas demonstrates that the advent of mathematical economics in late Victorian England resulted more from new currents in logic and the philosophy of science than from problems specific to the classical theory of value and distribution.Jevons's Principles of Science (1874) was the first book to take issue with John Stuart Mill's faith in inductive reasoning, to assimilate George Boole's mathematical logic, and to discern many of the limitations that beset scientific inquiry. Together with a renewed appreciation for Bentham's utility calculus, these philosophical insights served to convince Jevons and his followers that the economic world is fundamentally quantitative and thus amenable to mathematical analysis. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars A revolution of economic language.
The importance of this book is very strong. Jevons was the first economist who uses the mathematic language as we today mean in this sense.
Jevons was also logic and he knew very well the probability and the statistics. His teory of utiliy takes the place of the value theory introduced by Smith and Ricardo.This fact was really a revolution. ... Read more

Product Description
The Victorian polymath William Stanley Jevons (1835-82) is generally and rightly venerated as one of the great innovators of economic theory and method in what came to be known as the 'marginalist revolution'. This book is an investigation into the cultural and intellectual resources that Jevons drew upon to revolutionize research methods in economics. Jevons's uniform approach to the sciences was based on a firm belief in the mechanical constitution of the universe and a firm conviction that all scientific knowledge was limited and therefore hypothetical in character. Jevons's mechanical beliefs found their way into his early meteorological studies, his formal logic, and his economic pursuits. By using mechanical analogies as instruments of discovery, Jevons was able to bridge the divide between theory and statistics that had become more or less institutionalized in mid nineteenth-century Britain. ...

Editorial Review

Product Description

The impressive young scholar Bert Mosselmans, analyzing the theory and policy of Jevons, a major figure in the field of the history of economics, has put together a volume with broad international appeal, particularly in Europe, North America and Japan, that offers a synthetic approach to Jevons’ economic theory, applied economics and economic policy.

Adopting a relativist approach to his subject, Mosselmans focuses on all aspects of Jevons’ theory, tying the different strands together where appropriate and discriminating where necessary. Examining the relation between theory and practise he situates Jevons within the history of economic thought and in relation to his logic, ethics, religion and aesthetics.

Ideal for scholars working in the fields of philosophy and history as well as economics, this ambitious and insightful work offers a comprehensive analysis of one of the founding fathers of modern economic thought, whose work marked a new chapter in its history, bridging the gap between classical and neo-classical economics.

5-0 out of 5 stars Papers & Correspondence of William Stanley Jevons by him
Jevons was a proponent of a famous theory on utility in
fair exchanges. His work was mathematical and statistical
in nature. He argued:

"If a person has any useful object, but an object belonging to
another person would have greater utility, he will be glad
to give the one in return for the other. But it is a necessary
condition that the other person will likewise gain, or at least
not lose by the exchange."

In addition, he concluded that:

"A balance of utility on both sides will lead to an exchange."

A brief account of a general mathematical theory of political
economy was presented in the Journal of the Royal Statistical
Society of London in June of 1866pp. 282-287

This work summarizes some of Jevons' more important
correspondence and personal papers. It serves as an excellent
reference for economic theorists, historians and econometricians.
These papers will complement any course in economic theory
by providing the personal dimension of the author as enunciated
in the original writings. The fact that some of the papers
were published just after Lincoln's Presidency will add an
additional dimension for exploration by professional historians. ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars Before "Peak Oil", there was "The Coal Question"
This book is a reprint of a long out of print title dating from the later half of the 1800's. It's central question was how much longer would coal be economically recoverable in England. At the time, coal was as central to their economy as oil is to ours today, so modern readers who want to understand the concept of "peak-oil" may benefit from understanding how our ancestors addressed the issue of finite resources. YouTube videos by Dr. David Rutledge of Caltech that go into more detail about the relation between these two subjects. ... Read more
