‎Leon WALRAS - William JAFFE‎

‎Major final private holdings comprising manuscripts typescripts corrected proofs offprints and first editions‎

‎s. l.: S. n. 1887. Fine. S. n. s. l. 1887 divers 11 pages sur 7 feuillets pour les manuscrits 4 feuillets pour la transcription Very important and last remaining archives in private hands including autograph manuscripts typescripts corrected proofs offprints first editions etc.   Exceptional collection of manuscript and printed archives – the last in private hands – of the founder of liberalism and modern economics Léon Walras preserved and annotated by his most prominent scholar William Jaffé. One of the 5 most important sets of personal archives belonging to Walras considered by Schumpeter “the greatest of all economists”.   This collection of 42 important documents including complete autograph manuscripts corrected proofs abundantly annotated offprints and expanded printed material was given by his daughter Aline Walras and then Gaston Leduc to William Jaffé who added his autograph notes to some of them and used them to edit the first translation of Éléments d’économie politique pure.  PROVENANCE AND HISTORY OF THE WALRAS ARCHIVES A founder of economic science along with Stanley Jevons and Carl Menger he is considered the father of liberalism while his social and humanist commitment is generally omitted. The general equilibrium theory developed by Walras has in fact disrupted the classic conception of the economy which since Smith Riccardo and Marx based value on the labor necessary for production and on the opposition of social classes. Despite the importance of Léon Walras' manuscript production and his numerous contributions to several economic journals original documents whether autographed or printed by one of the most important economists of the late 19th century are extremely rare whether in private hands in public auctions or in institutions. This extreme rarity has contributed to a lack of recognition of Walras' name while the co-founders of marginal theory are often presented as his predecessors. However as the historian of economic thought Mark Blaug writes: “Jevons' Theory of Political Economy 1871 was not well received when it appeared but it was read. Menger's Principles of Economics 1871 was both read and well received at least in his own country. But Walras's two-part Elements of Pure Economics 1844-77 was monstrously neglected everywhere despite his indefatigable efforts to get the book noticed. That was in part because Walras set himself a task that went beyond Jevons and Menger his co-discoverers of marginal utility theory namely to write down and solve the first multi-equational model of general equilibrium in all markets. In addition Walras went far beyond Jevons in employing a mathematical mode of exposition and this was enough to scare off most of his contemporary readers. But whereas Jevons and Menger are now regarded as historical landmarks rarely read purely for their own sake posthumous appreciation of Walras's monumental achievement has grown so markedly since the 1930s that he may now be the most widely-read nineteenth-century economist after Ricardo and Marx particularly since the translation of the Elements into English in 1954.” Indeed it was only thanks to this first translation by William Jaffé almost 80 years after the original that the theories of Léon Walras will experience international diffusion and become a pillar of twentieth-century economics as Milton Friedman noted in his essay on Léon Walras on the publication of Elements of Pure Economics: “ Though I regard as somewhat extravagant Schumpeter's judgment that ""so far as pure theory is concerned Walras is . . . the greatest of all economists""2 there can be no doubt that the Elements is a great work which marked an important step forward in the development of economics as a science and which still plays an important role in economic thinking. It is well worth having a translation even at this late date in order to make it more readily accessible both to the profession at large and particularly t S. n. unknown‎
