by Augustin Cournot (Author), Nathaniel T. Bacon (Translator), Irving Fisher (Other)

""Researches Into The Mathematical Principles Of The Theory Of Wealth"" is a book written by Augustin Cournot in 1897. The book is a comprehensive study of the mathematical principles that underlie the theory of wealth. Cournot was a French mathematician and economist who made significant contributions to the development of economic theory.The book is divided into three main parts. The first part is a discussion of the basic principles of economics, including supply and demand, production, and consumption. The second part is a more detailed examination of the mathematical principles that underlie economic theory, including calculus and probability theory. The third part is a discussion of the application of these principles to specific economic problems, such as the determination of prices and the analysis of economic growth.Cournot's approach to economics was highly mathematical, and his work was influential in the development of modern economic theory. His ideas on the use of mathematics in economics were ahead of his time, and his work laid the foundation for the development of mathematical economics in the 20th century.Overall, ""Researches Into The Mathematical Principles Of The Theory Of Wealth"" is an important work in the history of economic thought, and it remains relevant today for its insights into the mathematical principles that underlie economic theory.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
