Chapter 2 in Arthur Cecil Pigou, 2015, pp 13-41 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Arthur Cecil Pigou, generally remembered as the architect of welfare economics, was the scion of several families of military officers, minor aristocrats, privileged officeholders, and freebooters whose fortunes prospered with the increasing power and wealth of the British empire in the eighteenth and the nineteenth centuries. His forebears included a number of colourful figures, men who proved quite adept at exploiting opportunities created by the rapidly changing conditions for success in the British polity and economy.
