Various research projects in economics developed at Cambridge share common philosophical presuppositions, within what can be termed as the Cambridge economic tradition. I argue here that the Cambridge economic tradition can be distinguished from other traditions in terms of its underlying ontology, methodology and ethics, and also in terms of the way in which those philosophical presuppositions are expressed in competing theoretical approaches to the distribution of the social surplus. I also distinguish between an economic tradition and a school of economics and note that various schools have existed within the Cambridge economic tradition. The various Cambridge schools can themselves be identified in terms of the specific analytical frameworks they adopted when addressing the distribution of the social surplus.

剑桥的经济传统与社会剩余的分配

剑桥大学开展的各种经济学研究项目都具有共同的哲学前提，即所谓的剑桥经济传统。我在这里争论说，剑桥经济传统可以从其潜在的本体论，方法论和伦理学以及其他哲学前提在竞争性社会剩余分配的理论方法中的表达方式中与其他传统加以区别。 。我还区分了经济传统和经济学流派，并指出剑桥经济传统中存在着各种流派。剑桥的各种流派本身可以根据它们在处理社会剩余分配时所采用的具体分析框架来进行识别。
