In den WarenkorbHardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. First Edition. A first printing of the true first edition, published in 1936 in near fine condition in an original near fine dustwrapper - extremely rare thus. John Maynard Keynes' last major work, and the most influential economic treatise of the 20th century, in the scarce original dustwrapper, in near fine condition with no restoration. ***Near fine in navy blue cloth-covered boards with gilt titles and borders to the spine, and blind borders extending to the front and back boards. The gilt is still beautifully bright, having been protected by the dustwrapper. The book is virtually perfect, with hardly any rubbing, even to the head and tail of the spine, or to the edges of the boards. The exterior of the book is in near fine condition. No bumping to the boards. Corners sharp. No tears to the cloth. No reading lean to the binding. Spine tight. Page block edges clean. The dark-blue colour on the spine is very slightly sun-faded. Internally, the book is also near fine - clean and unmarked. There is just a hint of creasing to the fore edge of the first few pages where the pages have been turned - otherwise the book feels largely unread. No serious creases or tears. None of the usual foxing or offsetting to the endpapers - just the lightest of foxing spots to one of the preliminary blank pages. ***In a near fine plain printed dustwrapper, which has not been price-clipped, retaining the original publisher's printed price of 5/- net on the front flap. Unusually, there is virtually no wear to the dustwrapper - just a crease to the bottom corner of the rear flap where the flap has been folded over at some point over the last 85 years. There is virtually no wear or tear to the edges at all, even to the spine, and the spine remains clean and hardly browned at all. Extremely rare thus. ***220mm x 150mm. With a four-page preface by the author to the fore, dated December 13 1935, plus 403 text-pages. ***Contents: Preface; Book I - Introduction, Book II - Definitions and Ideas, Book III - The Propensity to Consume, Book IV - The Inducement to Invest, Book V - Money-wages and Prices, Book VI - Short Notes Suggested by the General Theory, Index. ***'John Maynard Keynes, CB, FBA (5 Jun 1883 - 21 Apr 1946) was an English economist whose ideas fundamentally changed the theory and practice of macroeconomics and the economic policies of governments. Originally trained in mathematics, he built on and greatly refined earlier work on the causes of business cycles. One of the most influential economists of the 20th century, his ideas are the basis for the school of thought known as Keynesian economics, and its various offshoots.' ***'"The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money" was first published in Feb 1936. It caused a profound shift in economic thought, giving macroeconomics a central place in economic theory and contributing much of its terminology - the "Keynesian Revolution". It had equally powerful consequences in economic policy, being interpreted as providing theoretical support for government spending in general, and for budgetary deficits, monetary intervention and counter-cyclical policies in particular. It is pervaded with an air of mistrust for the rationality of free-market decision making."' (Wiki) ***A first printing of the true first edition, dated 1936, with no further printings noted, of John Maynard Keynes' "The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money", in really beautiful collectable condition. Copies of this important work in this condition, in the original dustwrapper, are virtually unobtainable now. An exceptional copy - of interest to collectors of the works of John Maynard Keynes, and of landmark twentieth century Economics titles. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.

Massel' in ink on the first free end-paper.First American edition (includes the Erratum printed on p. 403) of Keynes' path-breaking work, perhaps the most pervasively influential twentieth-century contribution to the social sciences, responsible for instilling the notion that 'national budgets are major instruments in a planned economy, that financial booms and slumps are controllable by governments' (PMM Catalogue, 609). The General Theory caused shock waves at the time. Its revolutionary impact was due in part to the economic circumstances in the 1930s when it was published, specifically the impact of widespread unemployment on public confidence in democratic institutions. Keynes' work both provided an explanation for the crisis and proposed a solution that made use of existing systems of government, thus constituting a viable alternative to the rise of totalitarian strongmen that contemporaries witnessed in continental Europe.

In den WarenkorbHardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. 1st Edition. Original navy cloth, printed dust jacket. A very fine copy. Rare original prospectus laid in. First edition of this classic of modern economics, on which Keynes s fame as the outstanding economist of his generation must rest (DNB). World-wide depression induced Keynes to re-examine classical approaches to economics. Urging the use of a national budget as a principal instrument of the planning of the national economy, Keynes placed responsibility for regulation of the economy squarely in the hands of the government. The General Theory introduced important concepts including the consumption function, the multiplier, the marginal efficiency of capital, the principle of effective demand, and liquidity preference. Keynes began the work, I have called this book the General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money, placing the emphasis on the prefix general. The object of such a title is to contrast the character of my arguments and conclusions with those of the classical theory of the subject, upon which I was brought up and which dominates the economic thought, both practical and theoretical, of the governing and academic classes of this generation, as it has for a hundred years past. I shall argue that the postulates of the classical theory are applicable to a special case only and not to the general case, the situation which it assumes being a limiting point of the possible positions of equilibrium. Moreover, the characteristics of the special case assumed by the classical theory happen not to be those of the economic society in which we actually live, with the result that its teaching is misleading and disastrous if we attempt to apply it to the facts of experience (General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money, p. 3) This is the finest copy we have ever handled and the only example we have seen accompanied by the original prospectus.

In den WarenkorbFirst edition. 8vo. Original blue-green cloth with gilt titles to spine. Contemporary newspaper clipping of a review of the book loosely inserted. A near fine copy, with slight bumping to the corners of the lower cover. Regarded as the most influential social science treatise of the century upon which Keynes' "fame as the outstanding economist of his generation must rest" (DNB). Inspired by the world-wide slump of 1929, as an attempt to find new methods for controlling the vagaries of the trade cycle, he "subjects the definitions and theories of the classical school of economists to a penetrating scrutiny, and found them seriously inadequate and inaccurate" (Printing and the Mind of Man) Although The General Theory threw economists into two violently opposed camps, the book heavily influenced Roosevelt's 'New Deal' of 1936 and the international conference at Bretton Woods eight years later, out of which came the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, thus permanently changing the way the world looked at the economy and the role of government in society. Loosely inserted is a clipping of a newspaper review of the book from its day of publication pasted onto letter paper of Mr. A.J Tyler of the American Steamships Lines Agency with his annotations about Keynes's new economic ideas.
