Abstract
Preface (1991): This paper first appeared in May 1973 as Working Paper IP-183 of the Center for Research in Management Science of the University of California - Berkeley. In spite of the high regard that this author had for it, it remained unpublished. It is on a topic very close to Trout Rader’s interest and it belongs to a line of the literature which grew considerably after 1973 (see W. Trockel: Market Demand: An Analysis of Large Economies with Non-convex Preferences, 1989 Lecture Notes in Economics and Mathematical Systems 223, Springer-Verlag). It is dedicated to Trout Rader with much sympathy.
Research for this paper has been supported by the National Science Foundation under Grants GS-35890X and GS-3274. Without implicating him I want to express acknowledgement to Professor G. Debreu for valuable conversation on the topic discussed here.
