Is Francis Ysidro Edgeworth the eponym of this idea? If so, I'd like to add that fact to this article and to the one about Edgeworth. Michael Hardy 03:33, 10 May 2004 (UTC)

Unfortunetly, the image accompanig this article is not one of an Edgeworth box - since it just shows one consumer. I'll try to find something better.radek 06:53, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

• Actually, this diagram does show two consumers, One from origin O, and the other from origin A. However, I will agree this diagram is not a good example, because the lines are too think and the colours all too similar, but also because it shows more than just the Edgeworth box - it introduces indifference curves, the PPF, and budget constraints, MRS, etc. These are not what this article should be concerned with - all of those things are tools, along with the Edgeworth box, used in general equilibrium analysis. I would suggest that the first diagram shown in this article, if there are multiple diagrams, should simply be the box showing how it is simply two graphs, with one rotated, that have been joined together, and how this then shows mixtures of consumption (or whatever is appropriate), given some point in the box. I may attempt this in the future. Narxysus 09:19, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

I've added Image:Edgeworth-box-example.svg, hopefully this is OK. -- SilverStar★ 00:36, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
