Alfred Marshall

Main writings

Marshall was very focused on mathematics, but he also worked very hard to promote his work to the general public. His 1879 book "Industry and Trade" was widely circulated and studied in Britain. After that, he spent 10 years writing "Principles of Economics", which was published in 1890. This book is considered Marshall's greatest book. He elaborated on the equilibrium price theory, combining the traditional production cost theory, supply and demand theory with the marginal utility theory, and proposed demand price, demand law, demand curve, supply price, supply law, supply curve, marginal utility, and marginal production cost consumption concepts such as surplus analyze the short-term equilibrium and long-term equilibrium of balanced prices.
