Correspondence: Correspondence may be addressed to David Collard at collarddavid{at}yahoo.co.uk. I am grateful to Professors Lyn Mainwaring and Sir Alan Peacock and to participants at the Edinburgh History of Economic Thought Conference in 2008 for their helpful comments.
Alfred Russel Wallace is famous as the co-discoverer with Darwin of the mechanism of natural selection. He was also an enthusiastic economic and social reformer. This article considers the relationship of Wallace's work to that of a number of eminent economists, including Malthus, Mill, Marshall, and Fisher. Wallace's economics, which attempted to analyze practical socialism, protection of the environment, and monetary stability, was interesting and insightful. It was only loosely related to his evolutionary theory.
Key Words: Wallace • evolution • land nationalisation • Mill • Marshall • Fisher
