I have removed the following from the article as it is simply incomprehensible as it stands. In addition, the fact that a slope or exponent (whatever alpha is) has been modified does not affect the line of argument in any significant way.
He had calculated a power curve<!-- and an ''α'' of 3/2 for the slope of that line [WHAT LINE, and what is alpha? That needs to be stated in order for the foregoing sentence to be comprehensible.] --> and he thought from the measures and his calculations that he'd found an "iron law" though in reality he had discovered something more prosaic. People since then have gone back and recalculated the slope, found it varied from place to place and time to time, and should be closer to 2 than to 3/2.<ref name="mandelbrot" />
From the third paragraph of the "Economics and Society" section: "In this sense we can read the fate of the Paretian production within a history of the social sciences that continues to show its peculiarity and interest for its contributions in the 21st century.[16] The story of Pareto is also part of the multidisciplinary research of a scientific model that privileges sociology as a critique of cumulative models of knowledge as well as a discipline tending to the affirmation of relational models of science.[17][18]" The first sentence seems to be a quote from the article in Italian in reference 16. But its translation into English is a little awkward: "the fate of the Paretian production"?! What does that mean? Can someone please turn this into proper English? The second sentence, with references 17 and 18, also raises questions as to its comprehensibility. I have no access to the references but the content can be stated more clearly. Can someone help?

Not a comment on the article but just wondering: Pareto was Italian but he wrote the bulk of his work while at the University of Lausanne, which is in the French-speaking part of Switzerland. Did he deliver his lectures in French? If so, why did he still publish his major works in Italian? And if he didn't lecture in French, why not? It was a French-speaking university, one might assume. Or? Hansung02 (talk) 23:11, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
