W. Stanley Jevons was a prominent English economist and logician, known for his contributions to the theory of utility and the development of marginal utility theory. His work laid the groundwork for modern economic thought, particularly in how individuals make choices based on the utility derived from goods and services. Jevons argued that value is determined by utility rather than labor, a revolutionary idea that shifted economic discussions in the 19th century.
