A. A. Cournot, H. Gossen, and J. von Thünen are best known as being precursors to the neoclassical revolution, though they appear to have had very little influence on the main actors of the neoclassical revolution, such as Willi am Stanley Jevons, Carl Menger and Leon Walras. Instead, Jevons, Menger, and Walras were influenced by the utilitarianism expounded by Jermey Benthem, James Mill, and John Stuart Mill. (Though it appears that A. A. Cournot had more than a little influen ce on Leon Walras)
