Particular attention is paid to non-utility and utility models of the latter half of the 19th century: . those of Cournot, Walras, Marshall, Edgeworth, Launhardt, and Wicksell. The author concludes that these formally divergent models are actually similar but focus on differing figure-ground features. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
