1984135254Various cities: Various studios 1984. Collection of 311 vintage still photographs from 95 sexploitation films released between 1941 and 1981 comprised predominantly of black and white studio photographs but with some color or reference photos. <br/><br/>Sexploitation films in the mid-century featured female stars in sexually charged roles as stewardesses nurses prostitutes virgins teens inmates rollergirls bikers beachgoers cheaters curious aliens Scandanavians submissives beatniks junkies and just about any other marketable context. The genre hit its peak in the 1960s but was by no means limited to that decade. Differing attitudes towards sex in the United States Europe Central America and Asia resulted in a wide variety of content perspective and subtext. The collection offered here features a diverse international range of films made in Sweden France West Germany Japan Italy the United Kingdom the United States Mexico and elsewhere. <br/><br/>The collection runs the gamut of the genre from its relatively innocent beginnings to a high point of creative content by the 1970s. As an example "They Wear No Clothes" 1941 simply explores life in a nudist colony whereas by the 1970s titles such as "Girls at the Gynecologist" "Naughty Stewardesses" "Truck Stop Women" and "Erotica" are more imaginative explicit and subversive. Also in the collection are examples of sexploitation films made between 1968-1979 that due to a somewhat gentler approach reached broader international audiences including "The Story of O" titles in both English or French "Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush" Walerian Borowczyk's controversial "Immoral Tales" and "Goodbye Emmanuelle."<br/><br/>Stills largely approximately 8 x 10 inches.

196015053Englewood Cliffs NJ: Prentice-Hall 1960. First edition. Octavo original cloth. From the library of Nobel Prize-winning economist Kenneth Arrow with his signature to the front free endpaper. Additionally signed by another Nobel Prize-winning economist Franco Modigliani. Fine in a very good dust jacket. Along with Merton Miller Franco Modigliani formulated the important Modigliani-Miller theorem in corporate finance 1958. This theorem demonstrated that under certain assumptions the value of a firm is not affected by whether it is financed by equity selling shares or debt borrowing money. He was also the originator of the life-cycle hypothesis which attempts to explain the level of saving in the economy. Modigliani proposed that consumers would aim for a stable level of consumption throughout their lifetime for example by saving during their working years and spending during their retirement.
