Buch Erstausgabe
Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Nobel Laureate Amartya Sen's copy of the First Edition, with his signature, thus a most intriguing association copy (see below). xv, 136 pp. Original flexible, paper-covered binding. Very Good+. Introduction by Jan Tinbergen. Professor Dr. F. De Vries Lectures. 'Since delivering these lectures I have been in harmonious disagreement with Amaryta Sen: just the kind of economist I am not, but with enough patience and kindness to be the perfect counterfoil' (Foreword, p. ix). 'Peter Wiles was a brilliant, unorthodox and ingenious economist. Remarkable arithmetic with figures from obscure sources gave him a true sense of economic magnitudes, but his intuitive numerical adjustments often shocked more staid economists as they proceeded formally and decorously towards the wrong answer. . . . Books such as The Political Economy of Communism (1962), Distribution of Income East and West (1974) and Economic Institutions Compared (1977) are treatises of great erudition, thoroughness and subtlety' Obituary, The Times (UK), 31 July 1997; please ask for on-line source).
