| | HES: RVW -- Caldari on Arena and Quere, eds., _The Economics of Alfred Marshall: Revisiting Marshall's Legacy_. |
 | | Considering a number of themes dear to Marshall (industrialdistricts, trade unions, socialism, health, quality of life), Reismansuggests that Marshall was an important forerunner of the modernconcept of social capital. |
 | | Raffaelli suggests that industrial district "was not anappendix to his [Marshall's] social thought but was directlyconnected to its core and constituted a specific way of dealing withthe growth of capital that was inherent in economic progress" (p.254). |
 | | No doubt it provesthat in Marshall there is much but not because he _knew_ it all, Ithink, but because he _saw_ it all, the real world, being aneconomist in the round, theoretical but also applied, and moreoverconsidering economics not a science as an end in itself but a meansfor bettering human life. |
