[[File:Éléments d’Économie Politique Pure.gif|thumb|Éléments d’Économie Politique Pure]]
The ''Éléments'' of 1874/1877 are the work by which Léon Walras is best known. The full title is 
* Éléments d'Économie Politique Pure, ou Théorie de la richesse sociale.
The [[half title]] page uses only the title ('Éléments d'Économie Politique Pure') whereas inside the body (e.g. p.&nbsp;1 and the contents page) the subtitle ('Théorie de la richesse sociale') is used as if it were the title.

====Plan of work====
The work was issued in two instalments (''fascicules'') in separate years. It was intended as the first of three parts of a systematic treatise as follows:
* 1<sup>re</sup> partie:– Éléments d'Économie Politique Pure, ou Théorie de la richesse sociale.
** Section I. Objet et divisions de l'économie politique et sociale.
** Section II. Théorie mathématique de l'échange.
** Section III. Du numéraire et de la monnaie.
** Section IV. Théorie naturelle de la production et de la consommation de la richesse.
** Section V. Conditions et conséquences du progrès économique.
** Section VI. Effets naturels et nécessaires des divers modes d'organisation économique de la société.
* 2<sup>e</sup> partie:– Éléments d'Économie Politique Appliquée, ou Théorie de la production agricole, industrielle et commerciale de la richesse.
* 3<sup>e</sup> partie:– Éléments d'Économie Sociale, ou Théorie de la répartition de la richesse par la propriété et l'impôt.<ref>Walras, 'Éléments', first ed., p.&nbsp;vi.</ref>
Works with titles echoing those proposed for Parts II and III were published in 1898 and 1896. They are included in the list of other works below.

====Editions====
* ''First'' (1874/1877). Most readily available. Described by Walker and van Daal as a 'brilliant expression of pure originality, containing many theoretical innovations' which 'needed alteration and development in a variety of important respects'.<ref>Donald A. Walker and Jan van Daal, translators' introduction to the 2014 translation. Available in part online as https://assets.cambridge.org/97811070/64133/frontmatter/9781107064133_frontmatter.pdf.</ref>
* ''Second'' (1889). Revised, corrected and enlarged.
* ''Third'' (1896). A minor revision with new appendices. This is considered the best edition by Walker and van Daal.
* ''Fourth'' (1900). Revised and extended. According to Walker and van Daal, 'these changes resulted in an incomplete, internally contradictory, and occasionally incoherent text'.
* ''Fifth'' (1926). Posthumous; published by his daughter Aline. 'Édition définitive, revue et augmentée'.<ref>W.Hildenbrand and A. P. Kirman, 'Equilibrium Analysis' (1988).</ref> Follows the fourth.

====Derived work====
The 'Théorie Mathématique de la Richesse Sociale' included in the list of other works (below) is described by the National Library of Australia as 'a series of lectures and articles that together summarize the mathematical elements of the author's ''Élements''&nbsp;'.<ref>Catalogue record at https://catalogue.nla.gov.au/Record/2018624.</ref>

====English Translations====
* William Jaffé (1954) of the ''fifth'' edition as ''Elements of Pure Economics''.
* Donald A. Walker and Jan van Daal (2014) of the ''third'' edition as ''Elements of Theoretical Economics''.
Walker and van Daal describe Jaffé's translation of the word ''crieur'' as 'a momentous error that has misled generations of readers'.

====Online and facsimile editions====

Both of these are made from the ''first'' edition and are defective in respect of illustrations. The original figures were included as folding plates (presumably at the end of each ''fascicule''). The online edition contains only Figs. 3, 4, 10, and 12 whereas the facsimile contains only Figs. 5 and 6.
