Abstract
The marginalist writings of Jevons [1871], Walras [1874], and Menger [1871], early in the decade of the 1870s, represent the beginnings of the neo-classical paradigmatic shift from the classical orthodoxy of Smith, Ricardo, Mill, Marx, and others, whose work represents the thesis to which the triumvirate who compose the ‘‘marginal revolution” of the 1870s (Jevons, Walras, and Menger) posed their antithesis.
