British economist ALFRED MARSHALL (1842-1924) was one of the most
prominent thinkers of his age on the philosophy of finance, and this,
considered his greatest work, was for years the standard text on the
subject. First published in 1890, it serves as an excellent primer on
such topics as: - basic economic laws - the purpose of economic
studies - fundamental concepts including wealth, production,
consumption, labor, income, capital, and others - understanding consumer
demand - an introduction to market studies - and much more. This replica
of the 1920 eighth edition is completely unabridged, and features the
vital Mathematical Appendix, including all of Marshall's equations and
diagrams.
