Marie-Ésprit Léon Walras (1834 – 1910) a jeho přínos k rozvoji teorie všeobecné rovnováhy

Abstract

5 January 2010 marks the 100th anniversary of the death of one of the most important economists of the 19th and 20th centuries, Marie-Ésprit Léon Walras. The authors of the article wanted, in connection with this anniversary, to present Léon Walras as a person and as an economist. The main objective is to put forth a possibly new interpretation of the Walrasian General Equilibrium Theory and to demonstrate that seemingly complex equations can be identified by a standard optimization of decisions made by economic agents.
