British economist ALFRED MARSHALL (1842-1924) was one of the most prominent thinkers of his age, and his work influenced half a century of financial philosophy. Though the bulk of his work was completed before the turn of the 20th century, the global ramifications of World War I prompted him to reconsider his theories on international economics, and in 1919 he published the two-volume Industry and Trade. Here, in Volume I, he discusses.. the relationship between trade and industry. the social and political issues that thwarted and encouraged industrialization in Europe and America. technical influences on industrial economies. problems arising from marketing and massive retail commerce. modern finance and business organization. and more.ALSO FROM COSIMO: Marshall's Elements of Economics of Industry and Principles of Economics
