Leon Walras' Theory of Money
Leon Walras'theory of money, in spite of its serious flaws, provides important insights which should prove of interest to modern monetarists. He was one of the few economists in the classical tradition to detect major deficiencies in the quantity theory of money. He favored a strong public policy to regulate the money supply in order to ensure the preservation of economic equilibrium. Most of his arguments were motivated by his concern for the wa…
Léon Walras and Social Justice
Léon Walras strongly believed that without an equitable distribution of wealth there could be no social justice. Though he defended the right of private property, he considered that land was a special case and that it belonged to all the community. His social reform involved the nationalization of land, the abolition of taxation on wages, the curbing of monopoly power, and the promotion of a strong cooperative movement. He insisted that the only …
Was Vilfredo Pareto Really a 'Precursor' of Fascism
Vilfredo Pareto has been labelled a fascist and 'a precursor of fascism' largely because he welcomed the advent of fascism in Italy and was honored by the new regime. Some have seen in his sociological works the foundations of fascism. This is not correct. Even fascist writers did not find much merit in these works, and definitely condemned his economic theories. A s a political thinker he remained a radical libertarian till the end, and continue…
The Influence of Auguste Walras on Léon Walras
Auguste Walras' interest in and contribution to economic theory were prompted mainly by his quest for a valid theory of property. After a critical analysis of the current theories of value, he singled out scarcity as the only significant cause of value. He concluded that land was scarce in a very special sense and, hence, should belong not to single individuals but to society as a whole. This is not, however, incompatible with private ownership o…
The 'Socialism' of Léon Walras and His Economic Thinking
Léon Walras was one of the few outstanding 19th century economists who, though as a theoretician belonged to the mainstream of orthodox economics, expressed views which at one time were considered to be too radical. He advocated in particular the nationalization of land as the solution to the social problem. This would generate sufficient revenue to government to enable it to do away with taxing income derived from wages and salaries. As a result…
Capitalism, Private Property and Freedom
Current economic theory still rights shy of value judgments in spite of a few attempts in recent years to accept their admissibility at least in those cases where it is considered impossible to arrive at a satisfactory evaluation of an economic problem without reference to them. One could say, in fact, that the only big exception has been in the field of Welfare Economics. Lionel Robbins' definition of economics, sometimes with slight variations,…
