198 pages including index and bibliography. "Here are the simple facts of the great betrayal. Wilson and House knew that they were doing something momentous. One cannot fathom men's motive's and this pair probably believed in what they were up to. What they did not believe in was representative government. They believed in government by an uncontrolled oligarchy whose acts would only become apparent after an interval so long that the electorate would be forever incapable of doing anything efficient to remedy depredations." - Ezra Pound, from Introduction. Clean, bright and unmarked with light wear. Nice copy. Book
381 pages. Nine black and white sketches. "No name has been more prominently before the public during the last sixty years or more, as that of this great financial firm. Its origin was so shrouded in humble obscurity, and the rapidity with which it sprang forward to prosperity and fame was alike so extraordinary and so remarkable, that the public gaze has been kept by a species of fascination upon the movements of the well-known fianciers. From one corner of the world to the other the success of the Rothschilds has been the subject of universal wonder and envy." - from pages 1-2. Above-average wear. Front hinge open. Library binding.

pp. xv, [i] 245. Index. First printing. "Aims to show how unstable in buying power are all monetary units, including the dollar; what hidden causes produce that instability; what harm results, although ascribed to other causes; and what are the various remedies which have been tried or proposed.

176 pages. "The author of this book believes that you can teach the fundamental mechanism of money and banking as you teach bridge, "by playing it," and thinks this game will do it. As an innovation in teaching method the possibilities are so revolutionary that no educator can afford to ignore it. Moreover, the game is an exceedingly entertaining one; as good a card game as any; can be played by any number from five to ten, and so is well adapted to the family circle, to the business man's club, or as a novelty for the next little dinner party." - from dust jacket.

464 pages. Index. Originally published in Italian in 1931. This first English edition substantially revised. Inside front board is the bookplate of M.L. Burstein, "One of the sharpest minds in economics of the last century" - from online reference. "The depreciation of the mark of 1914-1923, which is the subject of this work, is one of the outstanding episodes in the history of the twentieth century. Not only by reason of its magnitude but also by reason of its effects, it looms large on our horizon. It was the most colossal thing of its kind in history: and, next probably to the Great War itself, it must bear responsibility for many of the political and economic difficulties of our generation. It destroyed the wealth of the more solid elements in German society; and it left behind a moral and economic disequilibrium, and breeding ground for the disasters which have followed." - Foreword. Gilt lettering legible upon blue backstrip which is sunned along with portions of each board. Bit of writing inside front board otherwise clean and unmarked. Binding intact. A sound association copy of this important work. COHEN 458. Book

Illustrates how, even in the earliest of times of which written record remains, the days of Babylonia or before, a so-called monetary science undoubtedly existed; being then, as in today, never more than an instrument by which its secret and cynical controllers wittingly influenced the destinies of individuals, Nations and Empires as to (temporary) glory or (final) disaster." - from dust jacket. Signed and dated by author upon title page. Book clean, bright and unmarked with very light wear. Light wear to dust jacket now preserved in glossy new archival-grade Brodart cover.

Rivista settimanale, britannica, di automobilismo, in lingua inglese. Ricca di illustrazioni fotografiche in bianco e nero nel testo. Numerose le inserzioni pubblicitarie (alcune a colori). La numerazione delle pagine non è dei singoli numeri ma pate dal numero 1 del gennaio 1960 all'ultimo numero dell'anno (questo volume del 14 ottobre 1960 parte con pagina 576 e termina con pagina 632). Le pagine di pubblicità hanno una numerazione diversa (a se stante) rispetto a quelle della rivista (in questo numero sono, in totale, 180). Dimensioni: 21 x 29,5 cm circa. Stato di conservazione: Ordinari segni del tempo e dell'utilizzo (qualche pieghetta, minuscoli strappetti e mancanze sul dorso). DA SEGNALARE una pagina della rivista (inserita tra due pagine pubblicitarie) strappata via (non più presente) che, credo, riportasse una piantina del Salone dell'automobile di Parigi. Il foglio mancante è quello che conteneva le due pagine numero 605 e 606. Copertina illustrata a colori. Numerose fotografie in nero delle diverse automobili. Qualche esempio delle foto riportate: Citroen Bijou, Ford Perfect III, Lancia Flaminia Coupé, Volga M-21 K, Jaguar 3.8 Mk.

Piccole pecette di adesivo trasparente al margine interno bianco di 6 pagine (ininfluente) a chiudere un piccolissimo strappetto senza perdita di carta e per il resto, opera in buono stato di conservazione e stampato su carta forte di ottima qualità.

Lucky Strike cigarette ad on back cover provides a truly classic and timeless example of a mis-timed advertisement. Consider that the great Wall St. stock market crash of 1929 occurred mere days before this issue hit the newsstands. Beneath the caption "An Ancient Prejudice has been removed" appears a clenched fist labeled as "American Intelligence" breaking a heavy chain. Top left a paranoid miser stacks his gold by candlelight. Top right a wealthy couple visits their palatial bank. Text beneath miser reads "Hoarding gold with the fanatical zeal of the miser has vanished. American Intelligence sponsors thousands of banking institutions to which the individual (i.e. the wealthy couple) safely entrusts his wealth." The message is clear. Readers should put their trust (and money) in the banks, and shun gold. This issue was likely printed just as the Great Crash occurred, causing countless financial institutions to go under - and destroying even more individual fortunes. (The ad goes on to claim that cigarettes have similarly overcome the prejudice against them.) A truly stunning work which deserves to be preserved and reflected upon in this age of limitless fiat currency printing. Average wear with three-inch crease to lower corner of back cover. Suitably framed and mounted, this ad will make a superlative office display for any precious metals executive. Magazine
