This paper aims to clarify why Walras constructed his static theory of general equilibrium, though he first intended to analyze a progressive society. Some researchers focused on whether Walras's real interest was in a stationary or a progressive economy. The formation process ofhis Elements shows that he was first interested in the latter to prove the increasing values of land and of rent in a progressive society. Then he reached a static approach to show the efficiency of free competition. This is because he wanted to show the basis of argument about not only justice but also efficiency in his work.That caused some antinomy in his capital formation theory. Walras described economy as a series of equllibriums. It must be noted that these equilibriums are supposed never to be reached in reality. However it is fallcious to assume that his static analysis is meaningless just because it is unrealistic and ideal. For Walras's aim as a scientific socialist consisted in formulating the perfection as a guide to social refom in a progressive society.
