	Leon Walras / Biography
		Walras (pronounced "Valrasse") was one of the three progenitors of the "Marginalist Revolution" of 1871 - although his great work, Elements of Pure Economics, was published in 1874, three years after Jevons and Menger.
		In 1893, Walras was suceeeded by his young admirer, Vilfredo Pareto and the two men formed the core (and some argue the full extent) of the Lausanne School.
		Walras envisaged these works to be complementary to the Elements and considered the three volumes as integral and essential pillars for his theory.

		Walras was the son of French economist Auguste Walras.
		Although Walras came to be regarded as one of the three leaders of the marginalist revolution, he was not familiar with the two other leading figures of marginalism, William Stanley Jevons and Carl Menger, and developed his theories independently.

		Walras was equally insistent that a sharp line of demarcation should be drawn between pure and applied economics.
		Walras, on the other hand, sought to trace out the manner in which an equilibrium solution could be reached in all markets simultaneously.
		Walras personally was sympathetic to a regime of small agrarian freeholders, an institutional arrangement likely to approximate perfect competition about as closely as any system imaginable.

		Leon Walras (1834-1910) was a French economist of the Lausanne School[?], often considered to be the founder of modern mathematical economics.
		Walras was the first economist to develop a theory of general equilibrium to explain how prices could be determined by the interactions between markets for many different goods.
		His theory was based upon restrictive assumptions, including perfect competition and did not explain how prices might be determined given the existence of capital goods.

	Walras Law Guide
		As we shall see, this implication of Walras Law leads many to be concerned about the theoretical grounding of Keynes' theory of unemployment and to be worried when a macroeconomic modeller says "let us assume that all markets are in equilibrium except the labour market".
		First, followers of Walras would say that it does not make sense (and so it is not scientific, it is not acceptable) to "assume that all markets are in equilibrium except the labour market".
		The attack on the relevance of Walras Law for modelling situations in which there is involuntary unemployment was developed by Robert Clower (from the University of South Carolina) and Axel Leijonhufvud (from the University of California at Los Angeles).

	Leon Walras, Biography: The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics: Library of Economics and Liberty
		Separately, but almost simultaneously with William Stanley Jevons and Carl Menger, French economist Leon Walras developed the idea of marginal utility and is thus considered one of the founders of the "marginal revolution." But Walras's biggest contribution was in what is now called general equilibrium theory.
		Walras's father, the French economist Auguste Walras, encouraged his son to pursue economics with a particular emphasis on mathematics.
		After sampling several careers—he was for a while a student at the School of Mines, a journalist, a lecturer, a railway clerk, a bank director, and a published romance novelist—Walras eventually returned to the study and teaching of economics.

		But Walras was aware that the mere fact that such a system of equations could be solved mathematically for an equilibrium did not mean that in the real world it would ever reach that equilibrium.
		Historian of economic thought Mark Blaug writes that Walras "may now be the most widely-read nineteenth century economist after Ricardo and Marx."

	Equilibrium Economics of Leon Walras ~ Jan van Daal ~ Albert Jolink ~ eBookMall ~ eBook
		While this abundance of attention is partly due to the value the economist himself attached to his study, it has tended to present a rather unbalanced view of his life's work.
		However, the authors also even-up the overall impression of Walras' work by placing his equilibrium exercises in a much broader prespective and arguing that these models should be considered as an instrument in Walras' design for optimal economic order.
		Part III outlines Walras' views on what he called the `Social Question' and how it led him to formulate regulations with respect to monopoly and the production of public goods, and his ideas on State ownership of the land.

	The Vision of Leon Walras (Audio book)- Part of the Great Economic Thinkers Series
		Leon Walras (1834-1910) transformed economics from a literary discipline into a mathematical, deterministic science.
		For the first time, Walras expressed rigorously the view that all markets are related, and that their relationships can be described and analyzed mathematically.
		A follower of Walras, Vilfredo Pareto (1848-1923), viewed economics as part of the broader science of sociology, extending Walrasian analysis to say that society at large is an equilibrium system.

		Walras tackled the complex problem of the interdependence of all sectors of the economy and represented this complexity in a system of simultaneous equations.
		Walras departed from this practice by recognizing the interdependencies that exist between markets because the process of price determination occurs in all markets simultaneously.
		Nevertheless, theirs was a great achievement from the standpoint of logical clarity, and the impact of their thoughts on modern economic theory ranks both Leon Walras and Vilfredo Pareto among the dozen most influential economists of all time.

	The Encaisse Desiree of Leon Walras
		However, Léon Walras (1874) did attempt to construct a consistent theoretical rationale for this - in an approach better known as "encaisse désirée" or "desired cash balance".
		But since Walras assumes that neither the real price vector p nor r ever changes, then z cannot be in disequilibrium.
		However, Walras did provide the first tentative steps to a choice-theoretic approach to a monetary economy.

		Leon Walras assumed that bidding processes would cause prices to adjust to eliminate market surpluses or shortages, but a bidding process requires some entity (an auctioneer?) to weigh the respective offers of buyers and sellers, thereby ascertaining the market-clearing price.
		Walrasian adjustment mechanisms implicitly assume the existence of an auctioneer, but the vast majority of transactions in market economies are consummated through acceptances of offers or negotiations between buyers and sellers, not auctions per se.
		Walras law of markets states that summation of excess supplies in all markets experiencing surpluses must equal the summation of the excess demands in at least some other markets, which will necessarily experience excess demand [∑XS = ∑XD].
