Since 1990, the Principles centenary year, there has been a resurgence of interest in Marshall’s work, with the publication of his correspondence, his early philosophical and historical manuscripts and his first biography. Moreover, Italian research on industrial districts has revisited the core of Marshall’s industrial economics and its relationship with his social philosophy. These new trends have invited a reassessment of Marshall’s legacy to contemporary economics and have had a profound impact on the role he is assigned in the history of economic thought. The book is the first attempt to reconsider Marshall’s work in the light of these new historical and theoretical perspectives. It places Marshall’s ideas in their historical context, highlighting their influence on the development of economic and social thought. Contributors include all leading Marshallian scholars, who provide carefully thought-out overviews and original interpretations of individual topics from different points of view.

Abstract
Since 1990, the Principles centenary year, there has been a resurgence of interest in Marshall’s work, with the publication of his correspondence, his early philosophical and historical manuscripts and his first biography. Moreover, Italian research on industrial districts has revisited the core of Marshall’s industrial economics and its relationship with his social philosophy. These new trends have invited a reassessment of Marshall’s legacy to contemporary economics and have had a profound impact on the role he is assigned in the history of economic thought. The book is the first attempt to reconsider Marshall’s work in the light of these new historical and theoretical perspectives. It places Marshall’s ideas in their historical context, highlighting their influence on the development of economic and social thought. Contributors include all leading Marshallian scholars, who provide carefully thought-out overviews and original interpretations of individual topics from different points of view.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
