In 1941 [[George Stigler]]<ref>Stigler, George, 1994 [1941], ''Production and Distribution Theories'', New Brunswick, N.J.: Transaction Publishers, p. 222.</ref> wrote about Walras: {{blockquote|There is no general history of economic thought in English which devotes more than passing reference to his work. ... This sort of empty fame in English-speaking countries is of course attributable in large part to Walras's use of his mother tongue, French, and his depressing array of mathematical formulas.}} What caused the re-appraisal of Walras's consideration in the US, was the influx of German-speaking scientists – the German version of his ''Théorie Mathématique de la Richesse Sociale'' was published in 1881.<ref>{{cite book|first=Léon|last=Walras|language=de|title=Mathematische Theorie der Preisbestimmung der wirtschaftlichen Güter.

According to [[Schumpeter]]:<ref>Schumpeter, J. A., 1994 [1954], ''History of Economic Analysis'', Oxford University Press, p. 795</ref>{{blockquote|Walras is ... greatest of all economists. His system of economic equilibrium, uniting, as it does, the quality of 'revolutionary' creativeness with the quality of classic synthesis, is the only work by an economist that will stand comparison with the achievements of theoretical physics.}}
