About this Quote
Gerard Debreu's quote speaks with the power of mathematics in economics. He initially had an interest in economics, but it was not till he experienced the mathematical theory of basic economic stability that his interest was transformed into a life time commitment. This recommends that the mathematical theory of basic financial stability was so powerful and engaging that it motivated Debreu to dedicate his life to economics. This theory is based on the concept that markets reach equilibrium when supply and demand are equal, and it is a cornerstone of modern-day economics. Debreu's quote is a testament to the importance of mathematics in economics, and it acts as a tip of the power of mathematics to motivate and motivate.
