Marshall Society Student Essay Competition 2016 The Marshall Society is the primary economics society at the University of Cambridge. It was established in 1927, and is named after Alfred Marshall, the prominent economist who was Professor of Political Economy at Cambridge from 1885 to 1908 and established the university's economics Tripos in 1903. Notable former members of the society include economists such as John Maynard Keynes, Nicholas Kaldor and Joan Robinson. This prestigious competition attracted a large number of essays from students from throughout the UK and overseas and all of the judges were impressed with the standard of writing, the level of research and the ability of so many pupils to make such carefully drafted arguments. Tiffinian Jung-Hoon Seo’s essay, “Autocracy and its role in inducing economic growth and prosperity in South Korea” written as part of his summer project, was a thoroughly researched exploration of the topic showing excellent understanding of the context of South Korea’s economic miracle. Jung-Hoon’s essay was placed in the final 15 and judged Highly Commended. Many congratulations to Jung-Hoon.
