the general theory of employment interest and money von Keynes (752 Ergebnisse)

First American edition of the most influential social science treatise of the twentieth century, signed by six Nobel Prize-winning economists. Octavo, original cloth. Signed and inscribed by Nobel Prize-winning economists Paul A. Samuelson, Kenneth J. Arrow, Edmund Phelps, Robert J. Shiller, John Nash, and Robert C. Merton. Near fine in a very good price-clipped dust jacket with chipping to the extremities. An exceptional example of the utmost scarcity signed by this extraordinarily influential group of Nobel laureates, who were deeply influenced by the work of the economist J.M. Keynes. The General Theory ranks with Smith s Wealth of Nations as an intellectual event and with Malthus Essay on Population as a guide for public policy. The London Review of Books has grouped The General Theory "among the glories of modern publishing, edited with exemplary authority and lack of fuss." Many innovations of The General Theory remain central to modern macroeconomics. It was placed on Time's 2001 top one-hundred non-fiction books written in English since 1923.

First edition of the economist's masterpiece, with a rare autographed letter by Keynes laid in. Octavo, original cloth. The signed letter from Keynes, with his 46 Gordon Square Bloomsbury letterhead, was sent the month following the publication of the General Theory. Keynes write to the recipient, "Dear Captain Humberstone, I am sorry that I was not free when you called this morning, but I am happy to sign your manifesto, and return signed copy herewith. Yours truly, J. M. Keynes." The recipient, Thomas Lloyd Humberstone was an academic at the University of London, who campaigned on the subject of education and related Liberal political issues; he published University Reform in London in 1926, with a preface by H. G. Wells. Near fine in a very good dust jacket. Rare and desirable in this condition and with the signed letter. The General Theory ranks with Smith s Wealth of Nations as an intellectual event and with Malthus Essay on Population as a guide for public policy.

First edition, first impression, of perhaps the most significant work of economics of the 20th century, Keynes's last major text, and "the chief of his major theoretical works" (ODNB). This copy and its jacket are notably fresh and bright: among the nicest such examples we have handled. The General Theory was written in the aftermath of the Great Depression, when the old economic order was widely seen to have failed. Keynes argued that government must intervene in the economy, directing wages, investment, and demand, in order to achieve full employment beyond the boom and bust cycle. In so doing, a middle way was found between the laissez-faire policy of classical political economy and the complete state control of socialist economic theory. Keynes's system of controlled capitalism was embraced by the political left and right across Western Europe and the United States and so came to define much of the 20th century. Prior to the counterattack of the monetarist and neo-liberal schools, Keynes's theories became the virtually undisputed economic orthodoxy of the decades following the Second World War.

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. First Edition. A first printing of the true first edition, published in 1936. A pristine copy and 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. The dark-blue colour is only slightly sun-faded on the spine. 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 tears. None of the usual foxing or offsetting to the endpapers - just the lightest of fox spots to one of the preliminary blank pages. Spine tight. ***In a near fine plain printed dustwrapper, that is not price-clipped, retaining the original publisher's 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.

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 impression 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.

First edition, first impression, 8vo; publisher's blue cloth, titles to spine gilt, contemporary ownership inscription to front free endpaper, dust jacket, rather marked and somewhat rubbed and missing pieces at the spine ends, otherwise very good; xii, 403pp., stock23 The first edition of Keynes' masterwork, scarce in dust-jacket. Written in the aftermath of the Great Depression, The General Theory is regarded as one of the most influential social science treatises of the century; it quickly and permanently changed the way the world looked at the economy and the role of government in society. This is the book 'on which [Keynes'] fame as the outstanding economist of his generation must rest' (DNB). After the 1929 crash, Keynes analysed the classical school of economists, 'and found them seriously inadequate and inaccurate. [.] A national budget, over and above its function of providing a national income, should be used as a major instrument in planning the national economy. The regulation of the trade-cycle [.] must be the responsibility of governments. Lost equilibrium in a national economy could and should be restored by official action and not abandoned to laisser (sic) faire. [The General Theory] threw the economists of the world into two violently opposed camps. Yet eight years later Keynes was to dominate the international conference at Bretton Woods, out of which came the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank; and his influence during the ensuing decades, even on his theoretical opponents, has been such that a highly placed American official recently remarked that 'we are all Keynesians today' (PMM). About speculation especially, Keynes dismisses conventional wisdom, and the fundamentalist's dream, that the fund manager should base his investment decisions solely on the probably long-term yield of any investment: 'He who attempts it must surely lead much more laborious days, and run greater risks than he who tries to guess better than the crowd, how the crowd will behave; and given equal intelligence, he may make more disastrous mistakes." Keynes was speaking from experience. During the Twenties and Thirties, he looked after several institutional funds -- highly leveraged, and highly speculative -- dealing in commodities, currencies, and equities. Like Livermore he was no stranger to loss, and during the 1929 crash his funds lost seventy-five per cent of their value. He managed to recoup, and, amazingly, six years later increased his fortune twenty-three times with a series of judicious investments. As Barton Biggs recently wrote: 'there are many brilliant and bizarre characters in today's hedge fund world, but Keynes surpasses them all. Hedgehogs would have liked and appreciated him.' PMM 423; Moggridge A10.

London, Macmillan and Co., Limited. Keynes' greatest work and surely the most influential text of twentieth-century economics. Prompted by the world wide-slump following 1929, Keynes set upon an ?explanation of, and new methods for controlling, the vagaries of the trade-cycle. First in A Treatise on Money, 1930, and later in his General Theory, he subjected the definitions and theories of the classical school of economists to a penetrating scrutiny and found seriously inadequate and inaccurate. . [Keynes'] programme for national and international official monetary policies [was based on the premise that the] national budget, over and above its function of providing a national income, should be used as a major instrument in planning the national economy. The regulation of the trade-cycle - that is to say the control of booms and slumps, the level of employment, the wage-scale and the flow of investment - must be the responsibility of governments. Lost equilibrium in a national economy could and should be restored by official action and abandoned to laisser faire? (PMM). The grip of Keynesian economics took hold almost immediately, informing aspects of Roosevelt's 'New Deal', the formation of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, as well as many of the policies of the post-war British Labour government.

XII, 403 S., goldgeprägter O.-Leinwand-Band (Einband minimal berieben). Zweiter Druck, erschienen einen Monat nach der Erstausgabe. Arbeitsexemplar des Ökonomen Carl Föhl und daher für die Dogmengeschichte der sogenannten deutschen Vor-Keynesianer äußerst aufschlußreiches Dokument. Enthält zahlreiche Unterstreichungen, Anstreichungen und Marginalien in Bleistift, sowie auf den letzten weißen Seiten und im Innendeckel handschriftliche Notizen; u.a. eine ausführliche Liste mit "Übereinstimmungen". Föhl hatte nach seinem Maschinenbaustudium in Karlsruhe zunächst als Ingenieur bei der AEG in Berlin gearbeitet, war dann Berechnungsingenieur in Stockholm, von 1929 bis 1931 Geschäftsführer der Ruths G.m.b.H. in Berlin und von 1931 bis 1935 Chefingenieur der Ruths-International in New-York. 1930 hatte er an der TU in Berlin zum Dr.Ing. promoviert. 1935 übernahm Föhl die Geschäftsführung des 'Vereins zur Beförderung des Gewerbefleißes von 1821'. "Carl Föhl's Buch 'Geldschöpfung und Wirtschaftskreislauf' verdankt der 'General Theory' von Keynes überhaupt nichts, weil, wie der Autor im Vorwort feststellt, das Manuskript bereits im Dezember 1935 fertiggestellt war, so daß der Autor nurmehr gelegentliche Hinweise auf die 'General Theory' einfügen konnte. Um so überraschender sind mehrere Fälle der Parallelität zwischen seinen und den Keynesschen Lehrsätzen, obwohl für den anglo-amerikanischen Leser das volle Maß der Uebereinstimmung auf den ersten Blick nicht ersichtlich sein wird. Dies ist auf zwei Tatsachen zurückzuführen: Dr. Föhl verwandte einen anderen Begriffsapparat und gelangte zu seinen Schlußfolgerungen mit Hilfe von Methoden, die geeignet sind, jene Uebereinstimmung zu verschleiern; und außerdem schrieb er in einer anderen Umgebung, . Aber gerade deshalb wäre das Studium dieses Buches für die amerikanischen Oekonomen außerordentlich lehrreich: gerade infolge seiner nicht-Keynesianischen Methode offenbart es eine (objektive) Verwandschaft der Lehrmeinungen und rückt verschiedene Keynes'sche Probleme, besonders das der Gleichgewichts-Unterbeschäftigung, in ein neues Licht." (Schumpeter, Geschichte der ökonomischen Analyse, S. 1403 und 1427).
