本文通过检查瓦尔拉斯图书馆《国富论》中对史密斯的引用和他的手写笔记，澄清了瓦尔拉斯从史密斯那里学到了什么。虽然瓦尔拉斯的一般均衡理论经常被比作斯密的“看不见的手”，但瓦尔拉斯本人并不打算在他的纯经济学中发展它。在他的应用经济学中，瓦尔拉斯受到斯密对劳动分工效率的分析的影响。然而，瓦尔拉斯在其社会经济学著作中并没有对道德情感的起源作出解释，这也是瓦尔拉斯从未引用斯密道德情感理论的原因。
This paper clarifies what Walras learned from Smith by examining his quotations of Smith and his handwritten notes in theWealth of Nationsbelonging to the Walras Library. Although Walras’s general equilibrium theory has often been compared to Smith’s “invisible hand,” Walras himself had no intention of developing it in his pure economics. In his applied economics, Walras was influenced by Smith’s analysis of the division of labour in terms of efficiency. However, Walras did not share the explanation of its origin in his social economics, which suggests the reason why Walras never quoted Smith’sTheory of Moral Sentiments.
