Abstract
This paper is an account of the history of the attempt by Léon Walras to be awarded the Nobel

Peace Prize for 1906. It describes Walras’ moves to get three of his Lausanne colleagues to

nominate him for the Prize, the arguments advanced in the proposal, and the reception that it

received by the Norwegian Peace Prize Committee in Kristiania (Oslo). It discusses whether

Walras had realistic reasons to believe that he stood a real chance of winning the Prize, and it evaluates the validity of the arguments on which the proposal was based.
