Resumo
Alfred Marshall's self-proclaimed concern about workers living conditions, poverty or extreme inequality is well known, as well as his sympathies towards workers' associationist movements and their leaders, with whom he shared friendship, meetings, philosophical and even political worries. In this article, I intend to clarify and determine what positions and proposals Alfred Marshall defended; to what extent did he maintain socialist ideas and how did his ideas change? And, in the last analysis, if these positions allow us to consider him a purely abstract theorist, far away from moral questions; a Victorian conservative, even a retrograde; or a socialist reformer, a redistributor, perhaps more impetuous in his youth, allowing us to see him as an interventionist.
