We shall never have a science ...

We shall never have a science of economics unless we learn to discern the operation of law even among the most perplexing complications and apparent interruptions.

William Stanley Jevons 62 quotes

Over-production is not possibl...

Over-production is not possible in all branches of industry at once, but it is possible in some as compared to others.

William Stanley Jevons 62 quotes

A spade may be made of any siz...

A spade may be made of any size, and if the same number of strokes be made in the hour, the requisite exertion will vary nearly as the cube of the length of the blade.

William Stanley Jevons 62 quotes

One pound invested for five ye...

One pound invested for five years gives the same result as five pounds invested for one year, the product being five pound years.

William Stanley Jevons 62 quotes

The whole result of continued ...

The whole result of continued labour is not often consumed and enjoyed in a moment; the result generally lasts for a certain length of time. We must then conceive the capital as being progressively uninvested.

William Stanley Jevons 62 quotes

Some of the gold possessed by ...

Some of the gold possessed by the Romans is doubtless mixed with what we now possess; and some small part of it will be handed down as long as the human race exists.

William Stanley Jevons 62 quotes

I consider that interest is de...

I consider that interest is determined by the increment of produce which it enables a labourer to obtain, and is altogether independent of the total return which he receives for this labour.

William Stanley Jevons 62 quotes

I feel quite unable to adopt t...

I feel quite unable to adopt the opinion that the moment goods pass into the possession of the consumer they cease altogether to have the attributes of capital.

William Stanley Jevons 62 quotes

we often observe that there is abundance of capital to be had at low rates of interest, while there are also large numbers of artisans starving for want of employment.

William Stanley Jevons 62 quotes

The point of equilibrium will ...

The point of equilibrium will be known by the criterion that an infinitely small amount of commodity exchanged in addition, at the same rate, will bring neither gain nor loss of utility.

William Stanley Jevons 62 quotes

A little experience is worth m...

A little experience is worth much argument; a few facts are better than any theory.

William Stanley Jevons 62 quotes

Logic is not only an exact sci...

Logic is not only an exact science, but is the most simple and elementary of all sciences; it ought therefore undoubtedly to find some place in every course of education.

William Stanley Jevons 62 quotes

Logic should no longer be cons...

Logic should no longer be considered an elegant and learned accomplishment; it should take its place as an indispensable study for every well-informed person.

William Stanley Jevons 62 quotes

The laws of thought are natura...

The laws of thought are natural laws with which we have no power to interfere, and which are of course not to be in any way confused with the artificial laws of a country, which are invented by men and can be altered by them. Every science is occupied in detecting and describing the natural laws which are inflexibly observed by the objects treated in the Science.

William Stanley Jevons 62 quotes

As there are so many who talk ...

As there are so many who talk prose without knowing it, or, again, who syllogize without having the least idea what a syllogism is, so economists have long been mathematicians without being aware of the fact.

William Stanley Jevons 62 quotes

The conclusion to which I am e...

The conclusion to which I am ever more clearly coming is that the only hope of attaining a true system of economics is to fling aside,once and forever, the mazy and preposterous assumptions of the Ricardian school. Our English economists have been living in a fool's paradise. The truth is with the French school, and the sooner we recognize the fact, the better it will be for all the world, except perhaps the few writers who are far too committed to the old erroneous doctrines to allow for renunciation.

William Stanley Jevons 62 quotes

Property is only another name ...

Property is only another name for monopoly.

William Stanley Jevons 62 quotes

There is no such thing as abso...

There is no such thing as absolute cost of labour; it is all a matter of comparison. Every one gets the most which he can for his exertions; some can get little or nothing, because they have not sufficient strength, knowledge or ingenuity; others get much, because they have, comparatively speaking, a monopoly of certain powers.

William Stanley Jevons 62 quotes

The calculus of utility aims a...

The calculus of utility aims at supplying the ordinary wants of man at the least cost of labour.

William Stanley Jevons 62 quotes

PLEASURE and pain are undoubte...

PLEASURE and pain are undoubtedly the ultimate objects of the calculus of economics. To satisfy our wants to the utmost with the least effort - to procure the greatest amount of what is desirable at the expense of the least that is undesirable - in other words, to maximize pleasure, is the problem of economics.
