Description
Alfred Marshall is one of the most important figures in the history of economics. Although there are several collections which draw together the most important parts of the vast critical literature that has developed on Marshall in the twentieth century, this is the first set which collects a comprehensive range of material from Marshall’s own lifetime. It includes: a selection of Marshall’s own writings not previously reprinted press reviews of Marshall’s writings, including reviews of both his major and minor books, and review notices of articles and addresses biographical material from contemporary Who’s Who publications and obituaries. The collection covers the whole of Marshall’s career, and draws on a very wide range of sources, many of which are extremely rare. The set has been carefully and attractively retypeset throughout. Peter Groenewegen is Professor of Economics at the University of Sydney. He has published extensively on the history of economic thought, with particular reference to Marshall. Recent publications include, A Soaring Eagle , the most comprehensive biography of Marshall to date.
