This collection of twelve original essays commissioned by Britain's
Royal Economic Society commemorates the 1990 centennial of the
first publication of Alfred Marshall's Principles of Economics, one
of the truly seminal works in the history of the subject. Marshall,
who lived from 1842 to 1924, was the founder of the Cambridge
school of economics and the teacher of John Maynard Keynes. Each of
the twelve essays in this volume focuses on some aspect or aspects
of Marshall's work, life, or legacy. His magnum opus, the
Principles, receives considerable attention, but the discussion is
not narrowly restricted to that work - which was in any case only a
portion of a larger project, never completed. John Whitaker's essay
sets out the detailed history of Marshall's failure to complete the
projected second volume of the Principles, and describes the thorny
path leading to the publication of Industry and Trade in 1919 and
Money Credit and Commerce in 1923.
