A SOARING EAGLE: ALFRED MARSHALL 1842-1924
Book ID/图书代码： 04289512B58530
English Summary/英文概要： Theorist, practitioner, educator and arguably the father of professional economics, Alfred Marshall’s life and career have long required a full scale biography to put his work into context and reveal the extent of his influence.
Peter Groenewegen’s outstanding book places the major features of Marshall’s life and work within the rich institutional setting of late nineteenth and early twentieth century Britain. This biography sheds new light on Marshall’s decision to study economics - after dropping mathematics, philosophy and psychology in turn - and the background to his important books, including the Principles of Economics, as well as his government advice over three decades. More than just the life of a major economist, it also deals with economics and mathematics education at Cambridge, contemporary controversies over socialism, imperialism, free trade, eugenics, religious belief, social welfare and the women’s movement.
As the first biography of Alfred Marshall, A Soaring Eagle contributes to the history of economics, the social sciences and education while also offering a series of insights into Victorian and Edwardian society.

Groenewegen’s magnificent biography of Alfred Marshall provides a veritable mountain of detailed evidence on the development and contributions of a remarkable and complex human being during his long life. Groenewegen has left no stone unturned that might conceal the remotest detail of Marshall’s background and like. The book will unquestionably be the standard source for any future scholars of the economist whose Principles of Economics dominated the teaching of pricer theory from its first publication in 1890 until well into the 19th century. --Bolletino del CIRT
Groenewegen’s exhaustive, judicious and scholarly account of Marshall’s life and times has been worth the wait. Groenewegen has produced a biography which demonstrates deep learning perceptiveness of interpretation and scrupulous bibliographical accuracy. He has presented a rounded and sensitive picture of the complex amalgam of traits and behaviours that characterised Marshall. --Mark Donoghue, Review of Political Economy
Groenewegen’s prose is gripping yet lucid and analytical. Without exaggeration it can be stated that any future work on Marshall has to start from this book. --C.J. Talele, Choice Outstanding Academic Book of the Year 1995
