The aim of the paper is the analysis of Alfred Marshall’s position in Methodenstreit (Battle over
Methods). The founder of contemporary economics was often critical of the Austrian school whose
approach become representative to mainstream economics.
This analysis allows to draw some conclusions and postulates for contemporary economics. The
most important one is that one should be more tolerant of ideas o f the schools beyond mainstream
economics.
