| Summary, etc. | The common theme of all the papers included in this volume is economic theory, its structure, its use, and its misuse. The Gibbs Memorial Lecture on "Mathematics in Economics" was read be fore the 1953 Annual Meeting of the American Mathematical Society at a time when high school calculus was viewed by most economists as advanced mathematics and matrix algebra was still relegated to the pages of the journal called Econometrica. Now, less than fifteen years later, mathematics has without doubt been recognized as the linguafranca of economic theory and most of the current work in the field of economic theory is deviated to proofs of formal theorems derivable from more or less. arbitrarily chosen sets of axiomatic assumptions and, what is essentially the same, a large-scale production of new mathematical models. |
