Search Site Search Card Catalog Search a Book Home ... and Help Biography of William Stanley Jevons (1835-82) This statement marked a significant departure from the classical theory of value, which stated that value derived from the labor used to produce a product or from the cost of production more generally. Thus began the neoclassical school, which is still the dominant one in economics today. Jevons went on to define the "equation of exchange." This equation shows that for a consumer to be maximizing his or her utility, the ratio of the marginal utility of each item consumed to its price must be equal. If it is not, then he or she can, with a given income, reallocate consumption and get more utility. Take, for example, a consumer whose marginal utility from oranges is 10 "utils," and from cookies 4 utils, when oranges and cookies are both priced at 50 cents each. The consumer's ratio of marginal utility to price for oranges is 10/$.50, or 20, and for cookies is 4/$.50, or 8. Jevons would have said (and modern economists would agree) that this does not satisfy the equation of exchange and, therefore, the consumer will change purchases. Specifically, the consumer could increase utility by spending 50 cents less on cookies and using the money to buy oranges. He would lose 4 utils on the cookies, but gain 10 on the oranges, for a net gain of 6 utils. He will have this incentive to reallocate purchases until the equation of exchange holds (that is, until the marginal utility of oranges falls and the marginal utility of cookies rises to a point where, as a ratio to their prices, they are equal).

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.

Sus teorías pretendían aplicar las matemáticas a los esquemas teóricos obtenidos con el método deductivo. A partir de una teoría del valor que dependía únicamente de la utilidad, elaboró nuevas explicaciones del intercambio, la distribución de la renta, etc. Entre sus obras destacan: Teoría de la economía política Los principios de la ciencia (1875, Ed.

After working in Australia as assayer to the mint, he taught at Owens College, Manchester, and University College, London. His major contribution to economics was his marginal utility theory of value; Jevons held that value was determined by utility, and he demonstrated the relationship in mathematical terms. The Theory of Political Economy (1871) was his chief theoretical work. His practical application of economics in The Coal Question (1865) influenced government action. In General Mathematical Theory of Political Economy (1862), he demonstrated his belief in the application of mathematics to economic theory. His several texts include Pure Logic (1863) and The Principles of Science See his Letters and Journal (ed. by his wife, 1886).

A su regreso a Londres, en 1859, escribió varias obras de contenido económico, en las cuales expuso los principios de la teoría marginalista, de forma contemporánea a K. Menger. Dicha teoría arrumbó la del valor-trabajo heredada de la escuela clásica, proponiendo en su lugar un enfoque basado en la subjetividad de la satisfacción personal experimentada por el consumidor, expresada en función de lo que denominó «utilidad marginal». Así mismo, fue pionero en la introducción de un mayor rigor matemático en la disciplina, tendencia que iría generalizándose en años posteriores.
