loyment is higher in model 46 than model 4A. Also the ratio of returns to labour to returns to capital is significantly higher in model 4A. This is Keynes writ large. Unlike static equilibria, dynamic equilibria can have multiple points of stability. The point of equilibrium that is reached depends on

cal analogy, in the work of Leon Walras, Vilfredo Pareto, Irving Fisher, and Francis Y. Edgeworth (to name a few of the more important figures). In Walras' equilibrium each subsystem (firm or household) deterministically maximizes profit or utility facing uniform prices "cried out" by an "auctioneer':

arently without raising questions about the non-statistical conception of the equilibrium systems Fisher was studying. Francis Edgeworth distrusted Walras' conception of the auctioneer enough to propose an abstract combinatorial model of exchange, based on the idea of recontracting among coalitions of

One of the features of his General Theory of 1936 was a kind of double-

t the human capital of children. But Farr deserves credit for pointing out that human capital in general capitalizes pay less invested consumption. Keynes’ teacher Alfred Marshall agreed with Farr in 1990’. As I read this passage, Marshall interpreted maintenance consumption as investment. So did B. F.

iom in his Outline of 1836. The biological imperative lapsed from attention when the first generation of marginalists, led by Jevons and Menger, with Walras soon to follow, thought it unscientific to explain or justify tastes. It reemerged a century later in bioeconomics, much of which looked for economic
