A chapter in Marshall and the Marshallian Heritage, 2021, pp 61-77 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Tiziano Raffaelli’s pathbreaking contributions to our understanding of how Adam Smith and Alfred Marshall viewed historical progress are scattered across a number of his publications. This chapter builds on Raffaelli’s discussion in two ways. First, it provides a discussion and synthesis of his contributions with the goal of enhancing our understanding of the idea of “historical progress”. Second, it delves more deeply into Smith’s and Marshall’s commentaries on historical progress to further probe the degree of similarity between their respective views.
