This paper traces the genesis of the consumers surplus in Alfred Marshall's work, focusing on an analytical transition : first regarded as a monetary gain, the surplus gradually becomes a utility gain. This inquiry allows a reappraisal of Marshall's intellectual debt. Specifically, Cournot's influence seems to have to be restricted to the birth of the concept of surplus, whereas the critical assessment of Jevons Theory of Political Economy appears to have played a decisive role in the evolution of Marshall's problematic. However, the idea of an influence from Dupuit or Jenkin must be ruled out. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
