Alfred Marshall
Alfred Marshall (
July 26 1842-
July 13 1924) was one of the most influential economists of his generation. He was born in
Bermondsey, London, England. His book,
Principles of Political Economy (
1890) brought together the theories of
supply and demand,
marginal utility and the
costs of production into a coherent whole. It was the dominant textbook in England for a long period.
He was a professor at Cambridge University, where his pupils included John Maynard Keynes.
