Arthur Cecil Pigou, 1877-1959

Destacado estudiante y delfín oficial de Alfred Marshall, se convierte en el líder del  Cambridge neoclásico, el defensor de la ortodoxia marshalliana en el primer tercio del siglo. Como consecuencia de ello se convierte en el blanco preferido de las críticas de su colega John Maynard Keynes.  

Pigou es considerado el fundador de la Economía del Bienestar y principal precursor del movimiento ecologista al establecer la distinción entre costes marginales privados y sociales y abogar por la intervención del estado mediante subsidios e impuestos para corregir los fallos del mercado e internalizar las externalidades.
