Third, revised edition of the economic classic, the first full exposition of Marshall's theoretical position, and the work which inaugurated the transition from classical to neo-classical economics. The Principles refines and develops the various strands of economic science since Adam Smith. Schumpeter writes that "Marshall's great work is the classical achievement of the period, that is, the work that embodies more perfectly than any other, the classical situation that emerged around 1900" (p. 834). Many of the principles outlined here are now standard in the discipline, including the laws of supply and demand with price as their intersection. His basic economic unit of the "rational economic man", the consumer as a rational actor calculating their utility for each transaction, is enduring - as is his use of tables and diagrams to explain pure economic theory. For the third edition, Marshall rewrites and rearranges a number of chapters to explain his analysis more fully. This is particularly significant in the sections on capital and income, which Marshall revises to argue that prevailing definitions of 'capital', as distinct from other forms of wealth, are overly artificial in scope. The first edition was published in 1890. Provenance: William Hugh Mitchell (1861-1962), with his bookplate on the front pastedown and his signature (dated 1896) on the half-title. Mitchell, during his tenure as professor at the University of Adelaide, introduced in 1896 an MA course on the "Principles of Economics". Joseph Schumpeter, History of Economic Analysis, 1954. Octavo. Tables and graphs in the text. Original green cloth, spine ruled and lettered in gilt, covers ruled in blind, dark green endpapers. Light rubbing and wear, minor foxing to endpapers and edges, occasional slight separation within and between gatherings: a very good copy. Seller Inventory # 170610

Second edition. Gr.-8° (22 x 14,5 cm.). XXX, [1] Bl., 770 S. Nachtblauer Maroquin-Lederband der Zeit mit goldgepr. Rückenschild, dekorativer Rückenvergoldung, goldgepr. Deckelfiletten und goldgepr. Deckelvignette ("Postera Crescam Laude" University of Melbourne). Batson p.146. Einaudi 3736. Keynes 33. - Sehr seltene zweite verbesserte Ausgabe des Klassikers der oekonomischen Wissenschaften. - Second edition, first published the previous year, one of 3000 copies. This edition differs from the first only in points of detail, and in arrangement. - "Marshall's great work is the classical achievement of the period, that is, the work that embodies, more perfectly than any other, the classical situation that emerged around 1900 . Behind the great achievement there is a still greater message. More than any other economist-with the exception, perhaps, of Pareto-Marshall pointed beyond himself. . Naturally his work is out of date. But there is in it a living spring that prevents it from becoming stale" (Schumpeter, History of Economic Analysis, 1954, S. 834 ff.). - "The way in which Marshall's Principles of Economics is written is more unusual than the casual reader will notice. It is elaborately unsensational and underemphatic. Its rhetoric is of the simplest, most unadorned order. It flows in a steady, lucid stream, with few passages which stop or perplex the intelligent reader, even though he knows but little of economics. Claims to novelty or to originality on the part of the author himself are alltogether absent" (J. M. Keynes in Economic Journal, Vol. 34, 1924, S. 310 ff.). - "Es kann kein faireres Schicksal für irgend eine Theorie geben, als daß sie den Weg zeigt zu einer umfassenderen Theorie, in der sie als ein begrenzter Fall weiterlebt. (Das schließt Newtons und Smiths "Kette des Seins", verbindet mithin Mikro- und Makroökonomie, führt zu einer "Weltformel" und zu einer Ordnung der Grundwerte)" (Albert Einstein). - A. Marshall (1842-1924) "war einer der einflussreichsten Nationalökonomen seiner Zeit. Er ist ein Vertreter der Grenznutzenschule innerhalb der Neoklassik. Sein Hauptbeitrag besteht im Ausbau der mikroökonomischen Partialanalyse. Das von ihm popularisierte Angebots- und Nachfragediagramm des Marktdiagramms ist noch immer Standard in der Volkswirtschaftslehre. . In seinem 1890 veröffentlichten Buch Principles of Economics, das für lange Zeit führend in Großbritannien war, stellte er viele Theorien seiner Zeit erstmals in einem kohärenten Rahmen dar und entwickelte viele analytische Instrumente, die heute zum Standard der Volkswirtschaftslehre gehören" (Wikipedia). - Gelenke und Kanten etwas berieben, außergewöhnlich schönes Exemplar in einem prachtvollen Preis-Einband der 1853 gegründeten Universität Melbourne.

First edition of the first full exposition of Marshall's theoretical position, the work described by Keynes as inaugurating the modern age of British economics. The Principles refines and develops the various strands of economic science since Adam Smith. By so doing, Marshall inaugurates the transition from classical to neo-classical economics. Schumpeter writes that "Marshall's great work is the classical achievement of the period, that is, the work that embodies more perfectly than any other, the classical situation that emerged around 1900" (p. 834). Many of the principles outlined here are now standard in the discipline, including the laws of supply and demand with price as their intersection. His basic economic unit of the "rational economic man", the consumer as a rational actor calculating their utility for each transaction, is enduring - as is his use of tables and diagrams to explain pure economic theory. Though aspects of Marshall's principles have been rejected and modified, his fundamental vision of the principles of economics has not been. His recognition of the need to consider the social well-being of both individuals and society as a whole laid the groundwork for the discipline of welfare economics as established by his student, Arthur Cecil Pigou. Though Marshall maintained for 20 years that this would be followed by a companion volume, none was ever published. Batson, p. 146; Einaudi 3736; Mattioli 2256. Joseph Schumpeter, History of Economic Analysis, 1954. Octavo. Tables and graphs in the text; leaf of publisher's advertisements at rear. Original green cloth, rebacked with most of the original spine laid down, spine lettered and ruled in gilt, covers ruled in blind, green endpapers. Ink ownership inscription of "W. Taylor" to front free endpaper, dated 1890, undated signature of "D. Holroyd Reece" in pencil to half-title. Ink inscription to p. 1 giving the opening lines of the 4th edition (1898). Occasional pencil markings and annotations to contents. Extremities neatly restored. Light rubbing, faint browning to edges and content margins: a very good copy. Seller Inventory # 167281
