In order to understand the various strands of general equilibrium theory, why it has taken the forms that it has since the time of Lon Walras, and to appreciate fully a view of the state of general equilibrium theorising, it is essential to understand Walrass work and examine its influence. The first section of this 2006 book accordingly examines the foundations of Walrass work. These include his philosophical and methodological approach to economic modelling, his views on human nature, and the basic components of his general equilibrium models. The second section examines how the influence of his ideas has been manifested in the theorising of his successors, surveying the models of theorists such as H. L. Moore, Vilfredo Pareto, Knut Wicksell, Gustav Cassel, Abraham Wald, John von Neumann, J. R. Hicks, Kenneth Arrow, and Gerard Debreu. The treatment also examines models of many types in which Walrass influence is explicitly acknowledged.
