The neoclassical school of thought was founded by Alfred Marshall in his 1890 book "Principles of Economics", defining economics as the science of material welfare. It focuses on demand and supply as driving market forces and efficient allocation of limited resources. Some key assumptions of neoclassical theory include rational consumer behavior, the profit motive for companies, and market equilibrium influenced by utility. However, it has also received criticism for making unrealistic assumptions and being overly dependent on mathematical models.

Neo classical school of thought has foundered by prof. Dr.
Alfred Marshall and who described
that “economics” as a science of material welfare in his book “principles of economics” in 1890. So that not only was founded on neo classical thought about Alfred Marshall that other scientists are presented by definition and ideas about this theory. Who are w. Stanley Jevons(English) that his idea of theory of political economy 1871, carl menger(Australian) Grundsatze der volkswirthschaftslehre 1871, Leon warlras(French) elements of economic politique pure 1874, and John bates Clark (American) the philosophy of wealth Alfred Marshall 1885. Mostly this thought focuses on demand and supply as the driving forces under the following characteristics. There are production, pricing, income distribution and goods and services consumption. This theory divided by three types and there are classic block, temple and palladian. Neo classical thought mostly used that efficiently allocated of limited productive resources and also considered the growth of the resources long term. This thought has four basic assumptions that there are consumers are very rationality, the importance of the profit motive for companies, government need to advocate that market equilibrium and influence of the utility on prices. Neo classical school of thought that example for that we want to buy designer apparel because of the attached brand label. This theory has different definitions that it’s focus on the allocation of resources for that c certain point in time, utilitarianism, general equilibrium and methodological individualism etc. This theory has some criticism that there are used that unrealistic assumption, overdependence on that mathematical approaches and it’s complex, unrealistic on that mathematical models. The neo classical theory rejected that cost theory and utility theory value and classical malthusian law. This theory was introduced by marginal theory of production and distribution accept theory of compare to the advantages. This theory we can see in micro and neoclassical economics.
