The Victorian polymath William Stanley Jevons
(1835-1882)
is
generally and rightly venerated as one of the great innovators of
economic theory and method in what came to be known as the
marginalist
revolution . This book is an investigation into the
cultural and intellectual resources that Jevons drew upon to
revolutionise research methods in economics. Jevons s uniform
approach to the sciences was based on a firm belief in the
mechanical constitution of the universe and a firm conviction that
all scientific knowledge was limited and, therefore, hypothetical in
character. Jevons
s
mechanical beliefs found their way into his
early meteorological studies, his formal logic, and his economic
pursuits. By using mechanical analogies as instruments of dis¬
covery, Jevons was able to bridge the divide between theory and
statistics that had become more or less institutionalised in mid-
nineteenth-century Britain. For better or worse, Jevons, thus,
transformed political economy into social physics and irrevocably
changed the domain of discourse of economics.
