William Stanley Jevons, 1835-1882. English economist and logician whom, simultaneously with Carl Menger and Léon Walras , launched the Marginalist Revolution of 1871-4 that gave birth to Neoclassical economics. Stanley Jevons (as he preferred to be called) was born in Liverpool on September 1, 1835, the ninth child of a family of prosperous iron merchants. However, the death of his mother in 1845 and the collapse of the family firm in 1848 circumscribed Jevons's opportunities. His early education was acquired at home, the Liverpool Mechanics Institute and finally at a preparatory school in London. As a Unitarian (a liberal non-conformist Protestant sect), Jevons was legally barred from taking the traditional educational route through Oxford, Cambridge, etc. So, in 1852, Jevons entered University College London (UCL), a Benthamite institution that accepted non-conformists, to study chemistry, mathematics and logic. It was here that he came under the influence of the logician Augustus De Morgan. However, financial circumstance forced him to withdraw in his second year and accept a post as Assayer at the new Royal Mint in Sydney, Australia. After arriving in Sydney in 1854, Jevons spent his spare time (and there was plenty of it) studying the climate, geography, geology and flora of Australia. He took daily meteorological observations and hobnobbed with the local scientific community. A local dispute over railway funding led Jevons to study up on economics. Jevons read Dionysus Lardner's 1850 book

Thomas Jevons was an iron merchant but showed lots of talent both as an inventor of iron boats and as a writer on various legal and economic topics. Mary Anne Roscoe was the daughter of the historian William Roscoe. Thomas and Mary Roscoe had eleven children and Stanley was the ninth. The family were Unitarians, a liberal branch of the Protestant Church that bases its religious beliefs on reason, and Stanley was brought up with these beliefs. There is very clear evidence in Jevons later writings of the Unitarian influence. Stanley was sent to London to became a boarder at University College School in 1850. In the following year, still only sixteen years of age, he entered University College with a view to study chemistry and botany. He later wrote that his interest in the way that society worked began in his early days as a student, particularly since he could observe the condition of the poor in London as he walked about the city. He wrote (see [4]):- I began to think that I could and ought to do more than others. A vague desire and determination grew upon me.

Jevons' work, along with similar discoveries made by Karl Menger in Vienna (1871) and by Léon Walras in Switzerland (1874), marked the opening of a new period in the history of economic thought.

BIOGRAFIE degli ECONOMISTI Pareto Vilfredo Pareto Vilfredo (Parigi 1848 - Céligny, Cantone di Vaud 1923). Sociologo ed economista francese di origine italiana. Laureatosi in ingegneria a Torino, si appassionò sempre più agli studi di economia, al punto da farne lo scopo della sua vita. Per 15 anni, dal 1890 al 1905, collaborò al «Giornale degli Economisti» e dal 1893 al 1906 tenne la cattedra di economia politica presso l'Università di Losanna. P. applicò nello studio del problemi economici le concezioni positivistiche di Comte. Asserì sempre l'interdipendenza dei fenomeni economici, ma, pur considerando l'economia una scienza esatta basata sui fatti, ammise l'influenza su questa di elementi non logici, che egli chiamò «residui», rappresentati dal sentimento, da manifestazioni istintive, da interessi particolari. Fu il primo ad esporre la teoria della ripartizione dei redditi, tracciandone anche una curva, il cui andamento indica come le ricchezze sono distribuite. Tra i suoi scritti più importanti citiamo La courbe de répartition des revenus (La curva di ripartizione dei redditi, 1896), Systèmes socialistes (Sistemi socialisti, 1902) e Trattato di sociologia (1916).

Divenne professore di logica presso l'Università di Londra e quindi professore di economia politica. Il J. fu scrittore molto originale. Si mise in luce con la sua produzione scientifica, di cui sono rimasti veri e propri classici i Principles of science (Principi della scienza, 1874).

In 1866 he was appointed to a chair of political economy at Manchester where he remained until he moved to University College, London in 1876. Jevons's main contributions outside economics are in mathematical logic where he developed the 'logical piano', a machine with 21 keys for operations in equational logic. It has many features which were later incorporated into computer design. His most important paper in logic was Principles of science (1874). As well as logic and economics he also made important contributions to probability.

Entnommen aus: The New Palgrave. A Dictionary of Economics, hrsg. von John Eatwell, Murray Milgate, Peter Newman, London/Basingstoke, 4 Bde., 1987 Jevons, William Stanley (1835-1 882) Jevons was the ninth child of Thomas Jevons, a Liverpool iron merchant, and Mary Arm, daughter of William Roscoe, a noted banker, historian and art collector of the same city. The family were Unitarians and Stanley's background was thus that of a cultured and well-to-do Nonconformist family; but his childhood was shadowed by the death of his mother in 1845, the t'nental illness of his eldest brother, which began in 1847; and the failure of the family business in 1848. Jevons's schooling, begun at the Mechanics Institute High School in Liverpool, was continued at University College School, London, and in 1851 he entered University College London itself to study chemistry and mathematics. At this stage Jevons apparently intended to enter a business career without completing his degree but when a post as assayer to the newly established Mint in Sydney, Australia, was offered to him in 1853 he decided to take it, encouraged by his father, whose finances had never been restored after the family bankruptcy in 1848. Jevons spent the years from 1854 to 1859 in Australia, applying his knowledge of chemistry at the Sydney Mint and studying, mainly botany and meteorology, in his spare time. From 1857 onwards his interest turned towards social and economic questions; he began to see his life-work as lying in 'the study of Man' and decided that this involved returning to England to improve his academic qualifications. Arriving home in September 1859 he re-enrolled at University College London, completing his BA in 1860 and then the MA course in 1862.
