Abstract

To complete Pareto’s intellectual biography, we may consider it sufficient to provide an overview of Paretology as represented in publications dating to the final period of his life. In this regard it may be stated, paradoxically, that the two works which have most contributed to his lasting fame aroused less interest at the time of their publication than did the Cours d’économie politique. This fact can be explained by the numerous conceptual novelties contained in both the Manual of Political Economy (which also displayed a high level of formal complexity by the standards of the time, even if this was mostly limited to the appendix) and the Treatise on General Sociology (which furthermore was published in the middle of the world war). In the following sections we will summarise what we consider the most interesting among the responses to the Manual (§1), to Socialist systems (§2) and to the Treatise (§3).
