Talk:Alfred Marshall

message: Not to take away from Marshall, who was a sweet guy, but I understand Cournot was the first to derive supply and demand curves, back in 1848. Marshall just popularized it. I don't have a reference handy but I think it's pretty well established in History of Economic Thought literature  radek 08:18, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Supply and Demand

message: Radeksz removed my commentray on Marshall's critics, and the removal is not neutral. Perhaps the commentary was badly written. In that case, the edit should have improved the writing. I am adding a section named 'Marshall's Analytical Approach'. Gani 13:35, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It wasn't just that it was badly written. It was basically an opinion peace (not to say a 'rant') full of POV and original research. Stuff like "partial equilibrium is easy but general equilibrium is hard" and "Here's the difference between a partial derivative and a partial equilibrium..." just doesn't belong in an encyclopedic article. If you want a put in a section on Marshall's critics or criticisms of partial equilibrium that's fine. But it should be sourced and NPOV - i.e. report what the criticisms are without 1) making up some of your own, and 2) saying the critics are right and Marshall wrong. In fact, it's best of all to discuss this sort of thing on the talk page first.radek 22:26, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Original Research Badly Written, Really?

message: 1) It's Merchant Taylors' School, not Taylor's
2) The school was at Suffolk Lane in the City of London until 1875, when it moved to Charterhouse Square. It only moved out of the City to Northwood in 1933.

message: You say that 'Marshall had been Mary Paley's professor of political economy at Cambridge . . .'
Several named professorships at Cambridge use the possessive e.g "Lady Margaret's Professor of Divinity"
This is therefore a "garden path" phrase - I first thought of the "Mary Paley's professor of political economy".  More to the point, was Marshall a professor in 1877? (Of course, this title was much rarer in the 19th century, and there were no titles of "Assistant Professor".)
