Abstract

In this essay I shall try to assess anew Alfred Marshall’s writing on economic change and the theory of value from the perspective of evolutionary economics. My competing claim is that Marshall’s two great works, Principles of Economics and Industry and Trade, locate him as a major figure in a thread of evolutionary reasoning that explores the restless, dynamic nature of modern capitalism, a thread that begins with Adam Smith and leads on through Marx to Schumpeter and Hayek. To decide on the veracity of this hypothesis will take far more effort than is reflected here but my purpose is simply to begin to state a case.

阿尔弗雷德·马歇尔与进化经济学通论

在这篇文章中，我将尝试从进化经济学的角度重新评估阿尔弗雷德·马歇尔关于经济变化和价值理论的著作。我的观点是，马歇尔的两部伟大著作《经济学原理》和《工业与贸易》，将他定位为探索现代资本主义不安分、动态本质的进化推理主线中的重要人物，这条主线从亚当·斯密开始，经过马克思，一直延伸到熊彼特和哈耶克。要确定这一假设的真实性需要付出比这里所反映的更多的努力，但我的目的只是开始陈述一个案例。

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.
