Abstract

In spite of some disagreement with Neville Keynes on various methodological issues, from the second to the fourth editions of Principles, Marshall referred the reader to Keynes’s The Scope and Method of Political Economy «for a more full and detailed investigation of the subject». As time passed, however, Marshall became increasingly aware that an incorrect interpretation of the hypothetico-deductive method, which he considered to be in itself essential to the statical and «preliminary» stage of economic analysis, was becoming a hindrance to fair reception of his own research programme, aimed at the development of «economic biology».

阿尔弗雷德·马歇尔和j·内维尔·凯恩斯论演绎经济学和经济生物学(约1885-1907)

尽管在《原理》的第二到第四版中，他与内维尔·凯恩斯在各种方法论问题上存在分歧，但马歇尔还是建议读者参考凯恩斯的《政治经济学的范围和方法》，“对这个主题进行更全面、更详细的研究”。然而，随着时间的推移，马歇尔越来越意识到对假设-演绎方法的错误解释，他认为假设-演绎方法本身对经济分析的静态和“初步”阶段至关重要，正在成为公平接受他自己的研究计划的障碍，旨在发展“经济生物学”。

期刊介绍： History of Economic Ideas is a new international series of Quaderni di storia dell''economia politica, a journal founded in 1983 to promote collaboration between scholars who share an historical approach to the major issues, the various "revolutions" which have left their mark on economics and the spread of economic ideas beyond the narrow circle of specialists. History of Economic Ideas rejects the dichotomy between "analysis" and "culture": both aspects are of equal importance for a wider understanding of the subject. In a period such as our own, where paradigms which once seemed unshakeable are now being challenged, a multidisciplinary analysis of the historical development of economics might contribute to shedding light on the issues at the root of current debate. Besides essays and critical surveys, the journal includes archive material and reviews of new books on history of economics. History of Economic Ideas is double-blind peer reviewed.
