ABSTRACT: Donald Walker made interesting contributions to microeconomics, economic thought, and Walrasian economic theory. Based on Jaffé’s essays, he helped popularize Walrasian theory in the Anglo-Saxon scientific community through 1) the study of Walras’ correspondence and discussions on the Elements (1970-1986), 2) a discussion of the question of equilibria and disequilibria in Walrasian theory (1987-1996), 3) a consideration of new perspectives on general equilibrium theory (1997-2018).
