Abstract

Paul Samuelson is renowned as a debunker of Alfred Marshall. This chapter reviews his assessments of Marshall. It concludes that, although the conventional view is correct, it is important also to recognise that Samuelson considered Marshall to have been a great economist, albeit one who could have been even greater.
