Pigou and the 'Marshallian' Thought Style A Study in the Philosophy and Mathematics Underlying Cambridge Economics /by Karen Lovejoy Knight1st ed. 2018.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan,2018.1 online resource (323 pages)Palgrave Studies in the History of Economic Thought,2662-65869783030010171 3030010171 Chapter 1: A.C. Pigou and the Cambridge Tradition -- Chapter 2: The Elusive A.C. Pigou -- Chapter 3: The "Prof" and Marshallian Economics -- Chapter 4: The 'Marshallian' Thought Collective and Thought Style -- Chapter 5: Balancing the Material and the Ideal -- Chapter 6: Mathematics and Formalism in Economic Theory -- Chapter 7: Conclusion.This book provides a study of the forces underlying the development of economic thought at Cambridge University during the late nineteenth century and the first half of the twentieth century. The primary lens it uses to do so is an examination of how Arthur Cecil Pigou's thinking, heavily influenced by his predecessor, Alfred Marshall, evolved. Aspects of Pigou's context, biography and philosophical grounding are reconstructed and then situated within the framework of Ludwik Fleck's philosophy of scientific knowledge, most notably by drawing on the notions of 'thought styles' and 'thought collectives'. In this way, Knight provides a novel contribution to the history of Pigou's economic thought.

She is also a business consultant and independent researcher. Her research interests lie inthe history of economic thought, economic history, political economy, the sociology of scientific knowledge and philosophy.Palgrave Studies in the History of Economic Thought,2662-6586EconomicsHistoryPhilosophyHistoryEconometricsSocial choiceWelfare economicsEconomic historyHistory of Economic Thought and MethodologyHistory of PhilosophyQuantitative EconomicsSocial Choice and WelfareEconomic HistoryEconomicsHistory.PhilosophyHistory.Econometrics.Social choice.Welfare economics.Economic history.History of Economic Thought and Methodology.History of Philosophy.Quantitative Economics.Social Choice and Welfare.Economic History.330.01330.01Lovejoy Knight Karenauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1063686BOOK9910303448503321A.C.
