Routledge Economic Biology and Behavioral Economics Book

Explore the profound connection between biological science and economic theory in Economic Biology and Behavioral Economics: The Prophesy of Alfred Marshall. Published by Routledge as part of the Advances in Behavioural Economics and Finance series, this work examines the vision of Alfred Marshall, the grand synthesizer of neoclassical economics. Marshall famously suggested that the true center of economic study lies within economic biology. This book provides evidence for that vision by establishing the fundamental biological science required to understand modern markets. It applies these scientific principles to the examination of current economic theory, focusing on the core fundamentals of neoclassical economics. As the reigning theory and general framework taught in academic settings, neoclassical economics is analyzed through a new lens. This text is an essential resource for those studying the history of economic thought and the evolving relationship between biology and finance.
