 The Revitalisation of Marshall’s Industrial EconomicsNeil Hart
Chapter 6 in Alfred Marshall and Modern Economics, 2013, pp 114-134 from Palgrave Macmillan Abstract: Abstract Marshall’s analysis of industrial organisation in the Principles was summarised earlier in Chapter 2, where it was established that Marshall’s industrial economics formed the heartbeat of his evolutionary perspective on economics. This analysis was informed by detailed observations of contemporary industrial organisation, together with historical investigations into its development. Marshall had been a frequent and observing traveller throughout Britain, Europe, and the United States, where his travels were, in part, field trips in which observations were gathered on industrial and social conditions.’ This followed Marshall’s dictum that direct practical experience of particular events was the basis of all economic knowledge, which, when placed within an appropriate analytical structure, could be used to perform the task of deducing general guidance for the future from the instruction of the past (Marshall 1919: 679).
