Extract

In his 1989 Cambridge doctoral dissertation, The Concept of Equilibrium in Neoclassical Theory, Franco Donzelli observed that, “The history of the neoclassical approach over the last one hundred and twenty years can be interpreted as a history of the relationship between instantaneous and stationary equilibrium models, on the one hand, and of the developments internal to either class of models, on the other” (Donzelli 1989, p. 31).
