The English Marginalists
("Jevonians")
By the "English Marginalists" we are referring to early English economists between the 1870s and the 1930s who strayed from the Marshallian and English Historicist schools which were then dominant in the UK. Many of those on this list could thus be deemed "followers" of William Stanley Jevons, in that they articulated a subjective theory of value, adopted the mathematical method of reasoning and emphasized the radical break with Classical economics inherent in Jevons's revolution. Thus, in many ways, these "Jevonian" English Marginalists were closer to their continental counterparts of the Lausanne and Austrian schools than the more conciliatory variety of Neoclassicism developed by Alfred Marshall and his Cambridge school.
