Overview

Published in 1890 after nearly ten years of research, this magisterial opus, intended to offer a kind of Grand Unified Theory of Economics for its time—a planned second volume never appeared—was immensely influential due to its innovative treatment of such concepts as elasticity of demand, consumer surplus, and marginal utility.
