<br/><br/> Theory of Value by Gerard Debreu is a foundational work in mathematical economics that provides a rigorous, axiomatic framework for understanding economic equilibrium. The book systematically develops the theory of general equilibrium using advanced mathematical techniques, particularly set theory and topology.<br/><br/>Debreu formulates and proves the existence of equilibrium in a competitive market by defining individual preferences, production capabilities, and price mechanisms through a set of logical axioms. His work also explores the concepts of Pareto efficiency, market stability, and the role of convexity in economic decision-making.<br/><br/>This book is a landmark contribution to economic theory, shaping modern microeconomics and mathematical economics by offering a precise and abstract formulation of value and resource allocation in competitive markets.
