The Age of Marshall : Aspects of British Economic Thought 1890 - 1915

London: Frank Cass and Co Limited, 1973. With the original Foreword by Sir Dennis H. Robertson and a new preface by the author. The period 1890 - 1915 in the history of British economic thought may aptly be described as the age of Marshall: his influence as a teacher, and his ideas as presented in " The Principles of Economics " (1890) and other writings, stimulated and often dominated the ideas and writings of the younger economists of the period. His ideas also provided a theoretical basis for increasing state intervention in the economic life of the community in Britain, and thus helped the Liberal government of the country lay the foundations of the welfare state. Dr. Jha here evaluates the contributions made by the younger contemporaries of Marshall to four major aspects of economic thought : international trade, the labour question, economics of poverty and welfare, and public finance. The study is primarily concerned with the contributions made by these economists through " The Economic Journal ", the Journal of the Royal Economic Society. Dr. Jha's study is fascinating for the light it sheds on the interaction of economic events and issues with the reactions of economists, and it's clear demonstration that economic analysis does not proceed in a vacuum. 219pp, including index.
