William Stanley Jevons occupies a pivotal position in the history of economic thought, spanning the transition from classical to neo-classical economics and playing a key role in the Marginal Revolution. The breadth of Jevons's work is examined here, including a detailed consideration of a wide range of his work-policy, theoretical, methodological, applied and empirical.
