Description
The Principles of Economics by Alfred Marshall is a foundational text in the field of economics. First published in 1890, this influential work aimed to improve the mathematical rigor of economics and establish it as a scientific profession.
Marshall's magnum opus brought together key concepts such as supply and demand, costs of production, and marginal utility into a coherent framework. The book's technical contributions include detailed analyses of consumer surplus, increasing and diminishing returns, short and long terms, and elasticity.
Published in 2012, this edition of the Principles of Economics remains an essential resource for anyone looking to understand the fundamental principles of economics. Its impact on the teaching of economics in English-speaking countries has been significant, shaping the way economic concepts are taught and understood today.
