Leonid Naumovich Yurovsky’s “Soviet” reading of Pareto
Allisson, François
Leonid Naumovich Yurovsky’s “Soviet” reading of Pareto - 2024.
36
Leonid Naumovich Yurovsky (1884-1938) was a Soviet economist trained in the Russian Empire, who distinguished himself as one of the architects of monetary reforms in the USSR in the 1920s. He belonged to the nascent generation of mathematical economists who had read and valued marginalist authors. In 1919, he published his Essays on Price Theory, which would be the last review of Western literature on this subject not to be written under a Marxist-Leninist interpretative seal. In his Essays, Yurovsky made a few references to Vilfredo Pareto’s pure economics. I present his “Soviet” reading of Pareto as a missed opportunity of a dialogue that might have been more fruitful.
