Mathematical Economics Texts 6. ISBN for American edition: 0444854975. 'By using new mathematical techniques [in their famous 1954 paper], Arrow and Debreu discovered that the existence of multi-market equilibrium under conditions of perfect competition requires forward markets in all goods and services . This finding threw doubt on the practical significance of general equilibrium theory and much of Arrow's work was concerned to demonstrate that general equilibrium theory was nevertheless 'robust', that is, of relevance even to economies with missing forward markets. This is the burden of a later book, General Competitive Analysis, co-authored with Frank Hahn' (Mark Blaug, Great Economists Since Keynes, pp. 7-8).
