Walrasian general equilibrium theory
Identity, Tolerance and Backwardness: An Aspiration towards an Undisciplined Discipline
In this talk, I trace the relevance of the word backwardness, and its imbrication in the affiliated words identity and tolerance, for the discipline of political economy. Towards this end, I project the word backwardness to two different registers and its two constituent theoretical sub-registers: Walrasian [ADMA (Arrow-Debreu-McKenzie-Aumann)] general equilibrium theory and Cournotian [VNH (vonNeumann-Nash-Harsanyi)] game theory.
