Abstract

In 1915 the Russian statistician and economist Eugen Slutsky sent off from Kiev an article to the Giornale degli economisti that was translated and published in the July issue of that journal: "Sulla teoria del bilancio del consumatore." This article passed unnoticed. As is now well known, Slutsky's article is one of the most famous examples of those neglected and ignored works whose originality and importance are recognized only after similar results have been obtained by others.
