	Vilfredo Pareto
		The Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto was one of the leaders of the Lausanne School and an illustrious member of the "second generation" of the Neoclassical revolution.
		Pareto's theory of society claimed that there was a tendency to return to an equilibrium where a balanced amount of Class I and Class II people are present in the governing élites.
		Finally, Pareto's ruminations on the potential efficiency of a collectivist society were aired in the Socialist Calculation Debate that arose between the Paretians and the Austrians.

	The Pareto Principle - The 80/20 rule
		In 1906, Italian economist and sociologist, Vilfredo Pareto (sometimes misspelled Wilfredo, Alfredo, or Vilfred) created a mathematical formula to describe the uneven income distribution in Switzerland at that time, observing that eighty percent of the wealth was held by a mere twenty percent of the families.
		Because Pareto's initial discovery involved a distribution of 80% of wealth to 20% of families and it's inverse, the Pareto Principle is often called "The 80/20 rule".
		Pareto's Principle, or the 80/20 Rule, should serve as a continual reminder to focus eighty percent of your effort on the twenty percent of your tasks that matter the most.

		This article argues instead that in Pareto's treatise: (1) sociology is a synthetic discipline concerned with the study of human society in general; (2) human behavior is nearly always logical from a subjective point of view; and (3) sociology studies both logical and nonlogical behavior judged from an objective viewpoint.
		Pareto argued that observations such as this did not mean the economic theories were wrong, but that they had to be supplemented from other sources.
		According to Pareto, the logic of a person's behavior had to be considered from two aspects: subjectively, from the point of view of the person performing the action; and objectively, from the perspective of a scientifically educated observer.

	Pareto Optimum \| Optimality \| Optimal
		Pareto optimality is named after Italian sociologist and economist Vilfredo Pareto (1848-1923), this is a situation which exists when economic resources and output have been allocated in such a way that no-one can be made better off without sacrificing the well-being of at least one person.
		Resource tradeoffs for project duration, adjusting scope (using the Pareto Principle, no doubt) to control costs, and sacrificing a little quality for time to market considerations are all examples of the balancing act required.
		The Pareto Optimal, or Pareto Efficient, project is one in which each of the constraints are balance out and maximize effective project completion.

		Pareto's language is "objective," "positive," and colored with mechanical words, though he in substance shows more of a biological dimension.
		Pareto's scientific thinking, however, is not an adoption of the mechanical thinking; it is better to stress its evolutionary and "biological" dimensions.
		Pareto started out his career in the social sciences as an economist, but moved towards sociology with an outspoken attempt to integrate the study of economic phenomena in a broader sociological framework.

	Pareto Diagram
		Pareto diagrams are named after Vilfredo Pareto, an Italian sociologist and economist, who invented this method of information presentation toward the end of the 19th century.
		The fundamental idea behind the use of Pareto diagrams for quality improvement is that the first few (as presented on the diagram) contributing causes to a problem usually account for the majority of the result.
		Pareto analysis is most effective when the problem at hand is defined in terms of shrinking the PV to a customer target.

	Pareto Analysis :: Overview from The Quality Portal
		The 80-20 theory was first developed in 1906, by Italian economist, Vilfredo Pareto, who observed an unequal distribution of wealth and power in a relatively small proportion of the total population.
		Pareto charts provide a tool for visualising the Pareto principle, which states that a small set of problems (the "vital few") affecting a common outcome tend to occur much more frequently than the remainder (the "useful many").
		Pareto charts are often constructed to provide a before-and-after comparison of the effect of control or quality improvement measures.

	Qual001 - Pareto Diagram
		Vilfredo Pareto, a turn-of-the-century Italian economist, studied the distributions of wealth in different countries, concluding that a fairly consistent minority — about 20% — of people controlled the large majority — about 80% — of a society's wealth.
		Pareto charts are used to display the Pareto principle in action, arranging data so that the few vital factors that are causing most of the problems reveal themselves.
		The Pareto diagram is a graphical overview of the process problems, in ranking order from the most frequent to the least frequent, in descending order from left to right.

	Vilfredo Pareto
		Vilfredo Federico Damaso Pareto was born in Paris in 1848.
		Pareto names four principle classes of derivations: 1) derivations of assertion; 2) derivations of authority; 3) derivations that are in agreement with common sentiments and principles; and, 4) derivations of verbal proof.
		Pareto's theory of rule by elites, his authoritarian leanings, his uncompromising rejection of the liberal fixation with Economic Man, his hatred of disorder, his devotion to the hierarchical arrangement of society, and his belief in an aristocracy of merit are all ideas in harmony with Fascism.

	A Review of Vilfredo Pareto's The Rise and Fall of Elites
		Vilfredo Pareto (1848-1923) was an Italian sociologist, who, in his 1901 treatise, The Rise and Fall of Elites, foretold the ascent of socialism as a ruling doctrine in the decades to come.
		Pareto’s groundwork for the treatise is immensely shaky; his basic premise with respect to human nature is that people’s motivations are inherently irrational and based on sentiment rather than logic, and that any reasons that individuals ostensibly present for their actions are in fact post-rationalizations.
		Pareto’s recipe for the survival of an elite is a balance of “consolidators” and “innovators” within it, of those who would wish to preserve existing prerogatives and those who would seek to expand into new realms.

		The place of Vilfredo Pareto (1848-1923) in the history of science is secured through his contribution to economics.
		Pareto's conclusion that the change of elites occurs most readily when the religious sentiment is on the rise thus stands much elaborated and somewhat corrected after Sorokin's investigations.
		Pareto deliberately delimited his topic of investigation so that he did not have to deal with this difficult issue; it was enough to take note of the existence of these residues and to trace the consequences of their existence through the social fabric.

	Pareto Principle -- How to Apply It, and What to Avoid.
		In the very early 1900’s, an Italian economist by the name of Vilfredo Pareto created a mathematical formula describing the unequal distribution of wealth he observed and measured in his country: Pareto observed that roughly twenty percent of the people controlled or owned eighty percent of the wealth.
		In Pareto's case, he found that roughly 20 percent of the people in his country dominated with 80 percent of the wealth.
		Pareto's Principle should serve as a reminder to us to stay focused on investing 80 percent of our time and energy on the 20 percent of work that’s really important.

	VILFREDO PARETO - BIOGRAFIA
		Pareto, insomma, vuole separare in modo concettuale le componenti razionali dell'azione dalle componenti non razionali.
		Nel distinguere i fatti umani Pareto individua un nucleo costante costituito da manifestazioni di istinti, sentimenti, interessi che egli definisce "residuo", e un nucleo variabile costituito da tentativi di giustificare razionalmente l'irrazionale, detto "derivazione".
		Su questa distinzione Pareto costruisce l'edificio della sua sociologia e arriva alla formulazione della "teoria dell'equilibrio sociale" che, a somiglianza di quella dell'equilibrio economico, appoggia sui fattori individuali già citati e sui fenomeni d'insieme, di gruppo, ai quali i fattori individuali danno vita.

		This text reconstructs the genesis and significance of Pareto's "theory of choice" which is Pareto's greatest contribution to economic science and which was used by John Hicks, amongst others, to develop microeconomics.
		Hicks, Allen, Samuelson and others acknowledged Pareto as the father of the new ordinalist microeconomists but at the same time, portrayed him as confused and contradictory, caught between the old and the new paradigms.
		This framework is revealed by reconstructing his dialogues with economists and philosophers, and by exploring Pareto's economic theory in the light of his philosophy of science.

	Vilfredo Pareto Guide
		Pareto's first work, Cours d'economie politique (1896-97), included his famous 'law' of income distribution, a complicated mathematical formulation in which he attempted to prove that the distribution of incomes and wealth in society is not random and that a consistent pattern appears throughout history, in all parts of the world and in all societies.
		Pareto wrote a sociology of the political process in which history consists essentially of a succession of elites whereby those with superior ability in the prevailing lower strata at any time challenge, and eventually overcome, the existing elite in the topmost stratum and replace them as the ruling minority.
