William S. Jevons
William Stanley Jevons was a prominent English economist and logician in the 19th century, best known for his contributions to the theory of utility and the development of the marginalist revolution in economics. His work emphasized the importance of mathematical methods in economic analysis, advocating for the application of physical science principles to social sciences, a concept he termed 'fisiconomía' or 'social physics'. Jevons' ideas laid the groundwork for modern economic theory, influencing future economists in their approach to understanding market behavior and human decision-making.
