Pigou and the 'Marshallian' Thought Style A Study in the Philosophy and Mathematics Underlying Cambridge Economics By: Karen Lovejoy Knight Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan Print ISBN: 9783030010171, 3030010171 eText ISBN: 9783030010188, 303001018X Copyright year: 2018 Format: EPUB Available from $ 109.00 USD SKU 9783030010188 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.
