摘要

1898-1900年间，利昂·维尼亚斯基(Leon Winiarski)出版了《社会力学》(Mecanique sociale)一书，试图将瓦尔拉斯的一般均衡理论从经济学领域扩展到整个社会科学领域。这是通过大量使用类比来完成的，包括物理类比。考虑到瓦尔拉斯自己对物理学的羡慕，维尼亚斯基受到了长辈的鼓励，以这种方式继续他的项目。本文质疑Winiarski的《Mecanique sociale》是否试图认真考虑瓦尔拉斯的物理嫉妒。为了回答这个问题，我们重新考虑Winiarski对瓦尔拉斯一般均衡理论的解释，通过关注Winiarski著作中的一个特定脚注。

From Walras's Physics Envy To Winiarski's Mécanique Sociale

In 1898-1900, Leon Winiarski published his Mecanique sociale as an attempt to extend Walras's general equilibrium theory from the field of economics to the whole spectrum of the social sciences. This was done through an abundant use of analogies, including physical analogies. Given Walras's own physics envy, Winiarski felt encouraged by his elder to pursue his project in this way. This paper asks whether Winiarski's Mecanique sociale was an attempt to seriously take into account Walras's physics envy. To answer this question, we reconsider Winiarski's interpretation of Walras's general equilibrium theory, by focusing on a particular footnote found in Winiarski’s writings.

期刊介绍： History of Economic Ideas is a new international series of Quaderni di storia dell''economia politica, a journal founded in 1983 to promote collaboration between scholars who share an historical approach to the major issues, the various "revolutions" which have left their mark on economics and the spread of economic ideas beyond the narrow circle of specialists. History of Economic Ideas rejects the dichotomy between "analysis" and "culture": both aspects are of equal importance for a wider understanding of the subject. In a period such as our own, where paradigms which once seemed unshakeable are now being challenged, a multidisciplinary analysis of the historical development of economics might contribute to shedding light on the issues at the root of current debate. Besides essays and critical surveys, the journal includes archive material and reviews of new books on history of economics. History of Economic Ideas is double-blind peer reviewed.
