August 15, 2016Five papers by William Stanley Jevons (1835-1882), and two by his son, Herbert Stanley Jevons (1875-1955),to the Society, 1858-59, and 1911-12.
Note: American economist Irving Fisher (1867-1947) described Jevons’ book A General Mathematical Theory of Political Economy (published in 1862, three years after his return to England from Sydney) as the start of the mathematical method in economics. Jevons made the case that economics as a science concerned with quantities is necessarily mathematical.
