<P>First published in 1986, <EM>The Economics of Alfred Marshall</EM> is concerned with the theories of demand, supply, market structure and income distribution which the celebrated author of the <EM>Principles of Economics</EM> developed while standing on the shoulders of giants. It is thus concerned with hidden assumptions, institutional constraints, tentative conclusions and blurred distinctions; for these are an integral part of the contribution of an economist who warned against spurious over-simplification of that which is inherently complex.</P><P>The economics of Alfred Marshall appear
