The economics of Alfred Marshall : revisiting Marshall's legacy

Alfred Marshall (1842-1924) was one of the economists of the Cambridge school, whose thinking evolved into a mixture of utilitarianism, evolutionism and German idealism. He is equal in influence to other evolutionary economists such as Pigou and Jevons, and also addressed issues such as demand theory and welfare economics. The Economics of Alfred Marshall brings together a number of leading international scholars for a timely reappraisal of Marshall's contribution to the development of the field of economics. The aims of the contributors are firstly to revisit the work of Alfred Marshall and to investigate the unity of his projects which contemporary authors often tend to underestimate; and secondly to show how Marshall's approach is not only a subject for historians of economic thought, but may also provide a message which is still relevant for the progress of economics today.
