Dear all, 

I would like to indicate Walras's speech when he was appointed as Professor of Economics in 1871. In this speech, Walras criticized British classical economists.  .

Léon Walras " Discours d’installation en qualité de professeur ordinaire d’économie politique prononce dans la séance académique du 20 octobre 1871". In Auguste et Léon Walras. Œuvres économiques complètes. Edités par Pierre Dockès et al, 14 vols, Paris: Economica. vol. VII, pp. 359-376.

Subject: [SHOE] Important inaugural lectures

Dear SHOE List

I am thinking about putting together a volume of reprints of notable inaugural lectures in economics. Some lectures are self-selecting, such as Marshall's 'The Present Position of Economics'. I was wondering if the List has any suggestions as to which lectures should be considered for inclusion in such a volume and why?

Many thanks in advance.

All the best

Bob
