A chapter in Marshall and the Marshallian Heritage, 2021, pp 3-37 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The chapter may be taken as an exercise in second-level history of ideas. It reconstructs the history of almost half a century of historical research on Alfred Marshall, carried out in the circumscribed geographical area indicated in the title by a close-knit team that included (in addition to the author) Giacomo Becattini and Tiziano Raffaelli. The reconstruction reveals that the direction of the research and the ensuing historical image of Marshall and interpretation of his economics varied with time and inside the team, depending on each member’s reactions to the political and academic environments in which he grew up and worked. As a result, the versions of Marshall turned out by the team were always to a certain extent politically charged and generational.
