194785730Princeton New Jersey: Princeton University Press 1947. Revised Second Edition. Octavo. 24cm. Publisher's deep brown cloth with red and gilt titles to spine. Dustjacket. xviii; 641pp. Some light scuffing to corners and a little light bumping and rubbing to the spine ends clean and bright; topstain red internally clean and fresh with some informed underlining and emphasis from a previous reader in the early part of the text; in a clean dustjacket with a portion of loss to the joint of the front and rear flaps toning most heavily to the spine panel and shallow chipping and loss to the spine ends with old tape reinforcement to the verso of the jacket. A very good handsome copy of an important book in a dustjacket that has seen some wear. Shows very well.<br /> <br /> Von Neumann and Morgenstern were the first theorists to build a framework for the analysis of strategic decision making ostensibly in "game" environments but essentially expanding that framework out over a significant portion of human interactions. The basic supporting member is that each decision maker will attempt to improve their own situation and maximize their own outcomes thus making their choices at least partially predictable and measurable. Much like Mackay's "Extraordinary Popular Delusions" "The Madness of Crowds" in 1841 "Theory of Games" is one of those works that changed enormously how we think about human interaction and the concepts of free will and independent decision making. The influence of this work has in one form or another extended into a myriad of different fields; from military intelligence via the stock market and economic to computing and how we decide to lay out supermarket shelves. Fiercely collectible since publication early printings are thin on the ground. Princeton University Press unknown

1927169H4514Garden City New York: Doubleday Page & Company. Good. 1927. First Edition. Hardcover. "There is no man living who from the beginning or in the progress or at the ending of federal reserve legislation was more closely or constantly than I privy to and identified with the consideration and enactment of the law under which the federal reserve banking system was set up. Ever since the enactment of the federal reserve law it has been my intention to write some day a story of the many inside events word of which never reached beyond a closely restricted circle and had no such thing as current newspaper attention. Very likely my desire to tell the dramatic story would have abated if not for the recent publication of the 'Intimate Papers' in which the paternity of the Federal Reserve Act and its particular management are placidly ascribed to Colonel E.M. House." - Introduction. Accordingly Chapter III of this book is devoted to a scathing critique of the veracity of 'The Intimate Papers of Colonel House' first published in 1926. Colonel House was an intimate confidant of Woodrow Wilson President when the Federal Reserve Act was passed. Latter day conspiracy researchers argue House successfully advocated for the interests of the House of Rothschild during the development and passage of the Federal Reserve Act. In response to Glass's book Paul Warburg also instrumental in the founding of the Federal Reserve was "impelled to lay down in black and white my recollections of certain events in the history of banking reform." - Preface to his two-volume work The Federal Reserve System Its Origins and Growth - Reflections and Recollections published in 1930. Commenting on Glass's book James Grant of Interest Rate Observer fame notes "the story of the creation of the Fed by its chief progenitor Carter Glass makes you doubt he would recognize today's Federal Reserve were he brought back to life to inspect it. He explodes in indignation at any who would impugn the proposed Federal Reserve note as mere fiat money. In fact he considered the currency to be as good as gold - or better." Clearly Glass's recollections herein represent a profoundly important chronicle of the origins and founding of the Federal Reserve System.

1903443j2092London: C.W. Daniel. Fair with no dust jacket. 1903. First British Edition. Hardcover. "It is a deplorable fact and one to which is accountable the continuance of a system which has been a failure many times during the last century that not one person in ten thousand has any really intelligent idea of the science of money - a subject which is usually treated as one of profound mystery and which only a banker is capable of understanding. To one not blinded by custom and prejudice the money question is quite comprehensible. But because of the prevalence of false and contradictory theories students find the subject hopelessly involved in ambiguities and intricacies. It is with the hope that it my evoke a spirit of inquiry leading to a clearer understanding of this most important subject that this work is published." - Preface to the British Edition. First published in the U.S. in 1894. xxvi 231 p. "Arthur Kitson 1859-1937 was a British monetary theorist and inventor. He formed the Economic Freedom League with Frederick Soddy and was active in this venture through the 1920s. He became convinced Jewish bankers were the cause of his bankruptcy and most of the world's miseries. He sent Ezra Pound a copy of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion even before Pound changed from a money radical to a notorious anti-Semite. By the time of his death Arthur Kitson was the second most influential fascist in Britain the first being Oswald Mosley. In his late years he was brought to Germany to consult with Nazi Party economists." - Wikipedia. Binding intact. Prior owner's name inside front board. Former library copy with minor evidence where all related markings have been removed. Above-average wear to original red cloth lettered in gilt upon spine. No dust jacket presumably as issued.

"Much of this work consists of new information not known to the author when he brought forth his revelation of the secret meetings of the international bankers at Jekyll Island Georgia 1907-1910 when the Federal Reserve conspiracy was first hatched. At the time Mr. Mullins had not yet been able to secure the release from prison of his mentor Ezra Pound who commissioned his research at the Library of Congress. In the intervening years Mr. Mullins 1923-2010 continued to gather new and more startling information about the backgrounds of the people who direct Federal Reserve policies from hundreds of newspapers periodical and books. Gives insight into the parasitic connections of the international banking houses." - Robert H. Weems in "A Populist Bibliography p.49. 18 201 pages. Index. Unread and as new.

"The first systematic treatise of economics to be published within the last fifty years. Addressed to the intelligent educated layman as well as to the economist this work is a brilliant and systematic exposition of the principles and doctrines of the economics of the free society. Assuming no previous knowledge of economics on the reader's part Rothbard 1926-1995 proceeds by a deductive chain of reasoning in which every link is made explicitly evident to draw the conclusions logically implied in the fundamental axiom of human action. Conclusively demonstrates that 'the workings of the voluntary principle and of the free market lead inexorably to freedom prosperity harmony efficiency and order; while coercion and government intervention lead inexorably to hegemony conflict exploitation of man by man inefficiency poverty and chaos.'" - dust jacket.

1926169H5080New York: E.P. Dutton & Company. Fair with no dust jacket. 1926. First American Edition. Hardcover. 9 10-320 pages. Name Index. Subject index. Dedicated to Arthur Kitson "the British pioneer of the new economics to whose writings the author owes his initial interest in the fascinating problems of wealth and currency." - dedication page. Soddy 1877-1956 was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize for Chemistry for his work related to isotopes and the transmutation of elements resulting from radiation. Inspired by Kitson he began writing about economics in 1921 focussing on monetary policy and the role of energy in economic systems. "Soddy's economic writings were largely ignored in his time but would later be applied to the development of ecological economics in the late 20th century." - E. Zencey. On page 289 Soddy footnotes the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion stating "It is very widely believed that there has been something akin to an actual financial conspiracy to enslave the world." "But of the existence of a real conspiracy - a conspiracy of silence - on all monetary problems in the Press and on political platforms among editors publishers and economists who more than any others ought to be alive and awake to their infinite importance - there can be no question whatever." - p.291. "It was indeed a revelation to the author accustomed to think of the battle for liberty of thought in scientific matters as having been fought and won centuries ago at the time of Galileo and the Inquisition to find that in economics as distinct from physics it has not yet been won at all. If economics were really a science it would not need to protect itself from criticism by a conspiracy of silence." - p.292. Relatively minor marginal ink markings to thirteen pages. Front free endpaper removed. Ink stamp of "Technocracy Inc. Continental Headquarters New York City" upon half-title. Front hinge starting. Above-average wear to publisher's green cloth.
