`In Alfred Marshall's theory of the human mind, the development of
knowledge is conditioned, though not determined, by the context in
which it occurs; by a natural extension, so is the interpretation,
response to and use of knowledge. That is the organising principle
of this book, and no one is better equipped to apply it than the
team which produced The Elgar Companion to Alfred Marshall. What we
can learn from these studies has wide application in economics -
and beyond.'---Brian Loasby, University of Stirling, UK`The team
responsible for producing the exemplary Elgar Companion to Alfred
Marshall in 2006 has now assembled this complementary volume which
contains an equally authoritative collection of studies dealing
with the fortuna or intellectual and cultural impact of Marshallian
economics in Britain, Europe, North America, Australasia, and Asia.
Together the books make an invaluable contribution to the
reassessment of Marshall's reputation and the diffusion of his
economic ideas.'---Donald Winch, University of Sussex, UK This is a
unique and detailed book which surveys the diffusion and reception
of Alfred Marshall's ideas and the ways they have influenced the
development of economic science up to the present day. This is an
accessible and extremely readable work offering an interesting
perspective on the national traditions of economic thought, in both
English and non-English speaking countries, as well as on the work
of leading economists. As this work demonstrates, the variety of
responses elicited by Alfred Marshall's thought testifies to its
richness as well as to the plurality of conceptions of the role and
tasks of economics in different times and places. This book
complements the authors' previous work The Elgar Companion to
Alfred Marshall. The Impact of Alfred Marshall's Ideas will appeal
to researchers and academics at all levels of economics and
especially the history of economic thought.
Tiziano Raffaelli (Pisa 1950) was a widely esteemed scholar in the
field of the history and methodology of economics, who died
suddenly in January 2016 while still in the midst of working and of
developing projects for new lines of research. He was a philosopher
of science by formation and a historian of economic ideas by
professional choice, with interests covering a vast area, ranging
from the 18th to the 20th century and from Europe to the US. Where
he left an indelible mark, however, was in his interpretation of
Alfred Marshall's economic theory and its reverberations through
Keynes on the one hand, and the Cambridge school of industrial
economics on the other. Raffaelli's research in this field offered
a completely new view of the core and meaning of Marshall's work
and of its relevance for 21st century social scientists. In the
process, it stimulated a new and fruitful research program in
Marshallian economics. This volume consists of two parts. The first
is devoted to illustrating the above-mentioned changes in the
understanding of Marshallian economics and Raffaelli's role in
bringing them about. The second part offers a collection of essays
documenting some more recent developments in fields related to
Marshall and his influence, including welfare economics and
industrial organization, Marshall's legacy in Cambridge economics,
the Chicago school, and beyond. The contributors to this volume
range from leading senior scholars in the field to exceptional
young scholars, and their contributions illustrates a myriad of
ways in which the "new view" of Marshall inspired by Raffaelli's
work influences our understanding of the history of economics from
the late 19th century onward. This book will be of international
interest to scholars working in the history of economic thought,
and will also appeal to philosophers of science, methodologists,
intellectual historians, and those who specialize in industrial
organisation.
