ABSTRACT
The interrelationship between economics and ethics is a fundamental and pervasive theme in Marshall’s career and writings. An adequate treatment of this theme is obviously impossible within the space available here since it would call for a detailed analysis of the condition and development of the two disciplines during Marshall’s lifetime against the broader background of mid-and late-Victorian British intellectual, social and economic history, with special reference to the growing specialization and professionalization of the social (or moral) sciences. Consequently, what follows is highly selective.
