Abstract

Léon Walras's ideas on the labour market, strikes, workers’ coalitions, and the role of the State in organizing this market. His views on labour legislation, social insurance, and means to maintain and increase workers' income. Walras's evolving perspective on the labour market, from his early belief in spontaneous organization to his later advocacy for State intervention. His critique of contemporary policies and his proposals for labour legislation and social insurance. Walras's unique position in the French debates of the 19th century, placing him neither among socialists nor among supporters of State intervention in economic life. His ideas on cooperation, education, and population control as means to improve workers' conditions. Walras's advocacy for mutual aid associations and his opposition to State-managed insurance systems. His proposals for labour legislation and social insurance, aiming to balance the interests of workers and entrepreneurs. Walras's ideas on the role of the State in organizing the labour market and facilitating the mobility of workers. His critique of the Le Chapelier law and his support for the right to combine. Walras's views on the necessity of labour legislation and social insurance, aiming to protect workers without harming industrial competitiveness. His proposals for international agreements on labour standards to avoid social dumping. Walras's ideas on the role of education and cooperation in improving workers' conditions and increasing their income.
