| " Mr Allais is not only the
father of the new French school of economics, but he his also a giant within the world of
economic analysis".... " Mr Allais's analysis had been instrumental in the investment and pricing decisions made by younger economists working for the State-owned monopolies that proliferated in Western Europe after World War I I ".... " All required investment and pricing decisions aimed at providing a service that was socially efficient as well as economically viable, and thus owed an indirect debt to the work of Mr Allais,".... " That international recognition of the work of Mr Allais had been delayed partly because of the lenght and complexity of some of his most important works and partly because he wrote in French".... " The work of Mr Allais served as "a basis" for the mathematical analysis of markets and social efficiency carried out by one of his former pupils, Mr Gerard Debreu, and Mr Kenneth Arrow."....

| " .... How not to be impressed first of all by the exceptional qualities of researcher of Maurice Allais? At his place, tenacity, perseverance, constancy in the interrogation are combined with an astonishing aptitude for synthesis, an exceptional capacity of analysis with a total independence of mind. Therefore he can nourish thought of its precursors without never in being a prisoner, and making work of original creation without never yielding to the modes or dominant winds of the ideas of the time".... | |||||||
