In the 1930s the Swiss brothers Édouard and Georges Guillaume launched an ambitious attempt to found a science of “rational economics” by analogy with the science of rational mechanics. Their models were intensively discussed by the X-Crise group in Paris, and exerted an influence on the early French contributions to mathematical economics and econometrics. In addition, the Guillaume brothers (hereafter the Guillaumes) created their own research institute in Paris, which applied their models to real world issues and offered its services to the private sector. Later they became involved in attempts to conceive electrical machines which represented the working of the economic system. This paper explores the specific blend of physics and econo...
