To solve the [[Bertrand paradox (economics)|Bertrand paradox]], the Irish economist [[Francis Ysidro Edgeworth]] put forward the '''Edgeworth Paradox''' in his paper "The Pure Theory of Monopoly", published in 1897.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Edgeworth |first1=Francis Ysidro |title=Papers relating to political economy |date=1925 |publisher=Royal economic society by Macmillan and Company, limited |url=http://gallica.bnf.fr/scripts/ConsultationTout.exe?O=n024378}}</ref> In [[economics]], the Edgeworth paradox describes a situation in which two players cannot reach a state of [[Economic equilibrium|equilibrium]] with pure strategies, i.e. each charging a stable price. A fact of the Edgeworth Paradox is that in some cases, even if the direct price impact is negative and exceeds the conditions, an increase in cost proportional to the quantity of an item provided may cause a decrease in all optimal prices.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Selten |first1=Reinhard |chapter=Das Edgeworth-Paradox |title=Preispolitik der Mehrproduktenunternehmung in der statischen Theorie |series=Ökonometrie und Unternehmensforschung / Econometrics and Operations Research |date=1970 |volume=16 |pages=71–85 |doi=10.1007/978-3-642-48888-7_6|isbn=978-3-642-48889-4 }}</ref> Due to the limited production capacity of enterprises in reality, if only one enterprise's total production capacity can be supplied cannot meet social demand, another enterprise can charge a price that exceeds the marginal cost for the residual social need.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Edgeworth |first1=Francis Ysidro |title=Papers relating to political economy |date=1925 |publisher=Royal economic society by Macmillan and Company, limited |url=http://gallica.bnf.fr/scripts/ConsultationTout.exe?O=n024378}}</ref>
