Beschreibungen/Notizen

• This chapter sheds light on how Jevons approached practical social issues, rather than reviewing Jevons in the evolution of modern economics. Jevons was originally a scientific scholar, and later became a theorist and thinker of political economy. The chapter touches upon Jevons’s background, Victorian social issues, Jevons’s social programmes, and his viewpoint. The chapter also discusses Jevons as a harbinger of management science.
