Summary
Description of the definitive bibliography
I finished the preparation of the first edition of the bibliography of Léon Walras's writings in 1986 (Walker 1987c). These remarks and the bibliography that follows are revised versions, made necessary by new information and publication events during subsequent years. I compiled the first edition of the bibliography in the conviction that it would be a valuable research aid to scholars who are interested in his work, and that has proved to be the case. Articles are written on Walras's ideas each year and many other papers refer to his ideas and cite his publications, and the authors are no longer at the disadvantage of not knowing of the existence of many of his writings. Formerly, scholars were familiar only with the part of his writings that appears in his Eléments d'économie politique pure and in the two volumes of his collected papers (194 and 205), although that is a very important part. Especially in need of the information provided in this bibliography is the historian of thought who wishes to explore the development of Walras's ideas.
Since the time that I prepared the first edition, the Centre Auguste et Léon Walras (recently renamed TRIANGLE, Unité Mixte de Recherche 5206 du Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique) at the Université de Lyon 2 began the project of publishing Auguste and Léon Walras's Œuvres économiques complètes (OEC, entry 249), and all the volumes in that series that are devoted to Léon's writings have now appeared.
