ARTHUR CECIL PIGOU (1877-1959)
Destacado estudante e herdeiro oficial de Alfred Marshall, Pigou se converteu no líder do neoclassicismo em Cambridge, tendo sido o defensor da ortodoxia marshalliana no primeiro terço do século. Como conseqüência disto, se converteu no alvo preferido das críticas de seu colega John Maynard Keynes.
Pigou é considerado o fundador da Economia do Bem-estar e principal precursor do movimento ecologista, ao estabelecer a distinção entre custos marginais privados e sociais. Por isso advogou pela intervenção do Estado, mediante subsídios e impostos, para corrigir as falhas de mercado e internalizar as externalidades.
