1 vol. in-8 reliure demi-basane bordeaux, F. Rouge, Lausanne, Pichon, Paris, Duncker & Humblot, Leipzig, 1896 (tome I), VIII-416 pp. et 2 ff. manuscrits, F. Rouge, Lausanne, 1897, (Tome II), 2 ff. (titre et errata), 426 pp. Le tome I est incomplet des 7 derniers feuillets, le texte ayant été complété par deux feuillets manuscrits copiés par le professeur Georges-Henri Bousquet, disciple et ami de Pareto (mais les tables des matières manquantes n'ont pas été copiées). Etat très satisfaisant par ailleurs (reliure lég. frottée, annotations de G. H. Bousquet, très nombreuses en garde, plus rares dans le texte). Prix en l'état pour cet exemplaire incomplet mais de belle provenance. Importante édition originale du Cours d'Economie Politique, provenant de la bibliothèque du professeur Bousquet, qui rééditera le cours avec G. Busino en 1964. Successeur de Léon Walras dans la chaire de Lausanne, le sociologue et économiste Vilfredo Pareto (1848-1923) reste l'un des plus fameux intellectuels de son temps. Dans son cours, il expose la distinction de l'utilité et de l'ophélimité, développe une théorie de la production reprise de Léon Walras mais approfondie, et une théorie économique du monopole. L'exposé d'économie appliquée qui occupe la plus grande partie de l'ouvrage embrasse la plupart des aspects de l'économie : population et main d'oeuvre, monnaie, épargne, banque, production, commerce... Son originalité tient essentiellement à sa théorie de la rente, son analyse des crises et des revenus. Le professeur Georges-Henri Bousquet (1900-1978), docteur en droit en 1923 avec une thèse sur "L'évolution sociale en Hollande 1914-1922", est un économiste de l'école de Pareto et Schumpeter, mais également islamisant de l'école de Goldziher et Snouck-Hugronje, professeur aux facultés d'Alger puis de Bordeaux. Peu après sa thèse, il participa à la mission de la SDN pour la restauration financière de l'Autriche. Proche de son maître en sociologie Vilfredo Pareto, il servit fortement sa pensée, l'édita et le vulgarisa ; il entretint une correspondance avec Pareto et le visita notamment une huitaine de jours dans sa villa de Céligny vers Pâques 1923. Grâce à la fondation Rockfeller, il fit un séjour de recherche à Harvard dans les années 1933-1934. Il avait connu personnellement Joseph Schumpeter, Irving Fisher et Pareto, ainsi que le disciple de Léon Walras Albert Aupetit. Le nom du Professeur Bousquet est l'un des rares économistes français contemporains à être plusieurs fois cité dans la monumentale Histoire de l’Analyse Economique de Schumpeter. Français

Prima edizione. Esemplare a pieni margini con qualche gora che non tocca il testo. Raccolta di regolamenti e leggi nel Regno di Napoli cioè raccolta dei bandi relativi al commercio di ogni genere alimentare, divisi per ordine alfabetico con a lato il riferimento dell’anno di promulgazione del Bando. Si conosce una sola copia nelle biblioteche pubbliche, con lo stesso numero di pagine (le altre presentano un umero inferiore di carte). Un grande capolettera con veduta di Napoli (diverso dalla copia consultata nella Biblioteca Nazionale Vittorio Emanuele III) alla prima pagina.
Edizione originale. Bellissimo esemplare a pieni margini con barbe (213 x 133 mm), nella sua brossura muta d’attesa (fisiologici segni del tempo: dorsi leggermente ingialliti, angoli arricciati, qualche mancanza marginale alla brossura muta e un restauro integrativo al piede della quarta di copertina del terzo volume); interno freschissimo e pulito. L’esemplare sopravanza di oltre due centimetri in altezza (e oltre uno in larghezza) quello della raccolta Parenti. Preziosa firma d’appartenenza ottocentesca al primo risguardo di ciascun volume: «C. Guicciardi». Il Conte Diego Guicciardi (1756-1837), valtellinese, ministro di polizia e segretario di stato durante la Repubblica Cisalpina. All’uscita dell’opera presiedeva la Consulta di Stato. Dopo la restaurazione il Guicciardi, in origine più estremista del Melzi, mediò con il governo austriaco, e con la nascita della Cariplo (1823, allora «Cassa di Risparmio di Milano») fu il primo presidente della banca. «Di estrema rarità» (Parenti). Il Cuoco partecipò attivamente alle vicende della Repubblica Napoletana, incarcerato per alcuni mesi, esiliato con la confisca dei beni. Il «saggio storico» uscì anonimo in questa prima stampa, finanziata da un privato benefattore; ma ebbe immediato successo, affrontando con taglio innovativo il tema della «rivoluzione» nella storia dei popoli e nella sua struttura. Vincenzo Cuoco (1770-1823) si era formato sui testi di Machiavelli, poi studiando a fondo l’intera opera del Vico, con l’ambizioso progetto di giungere ad una vera e propria edizione critica; ma il lavoro preparatorio, assai corposo, andò perso durante l’incarcerazione. L’originalità del Cuoco consiste proprio in una sorta di trapianto dello spiritualismo storico vichiano nell’esperienza delle repubbliche italiane sorte dopo la rivoluzione francese; e in questo si guadagnò l’ammirazione del giovane Manzoni negli anni milanesi (cfr. G. Gentile, Vincenzo Cuoco, Roma, 1924). L’autore fu collaboratore del Murat dopo il rientro a Napoli, ricoprendo anche importanti cariche istituzionali; il ritorno dei Borboni coincise con la malattia mentale dei suoi ultimi anni. Questo saggio è il trattato di filosofia della storia più profondo e importante pubblicato in Italia nel XIX secolo, tra i più significativi del pensiero europeo; certamente non è riducibile a una qualche ala di correnti giacobine o moderate, tanto che, ad esempio, il concetto di «rivoluzione passiva» compare più volte nelle riflessioni di Gramsci. Il suo esame è spietato, vichiano e machiavellico insieme. «Ecco tutto il segreto delle rivoluzioni: conoscere tutto ciò che il popolo vuole, e farlo; egli allora vi seguirà. Distinguere ciò che vuole il popolo da ciò che vorreste voi, ed arrestarvi tosto che il popolo più non vuole; egli allora vi abbandonerebbe» (capitolo XVII). Un classico, senza dubbio.

1935429j1675Gardenvale Quebec: The Garden City Press. Good with no dust jacket. 1935. Hardcover. "Ever since the English Bank Act of 1844 the creation issuance and the regulation of the circulation of the current medium of exchange have been in large measure delegated in blind faith and absolute confidence to bankers and financiers. The complete collapse of the economic structure under banker management proves that the private control of credit is fundamentally unsound. Necessity now compels all to recognize that the creation and issuance of the medium of exchange the monetization of public credit the circulation of the medium of exchange and the general supervision of the monetary system must be restored to government. We must drive the money changers out of the temples of government and put the spirit of Christ in charge." - Preface. Chapters include: The Spirit of Lincoln; Democracy or Money Power; Money is Economic Power; War and Usury; Signs of Emancipation; Lincoln The Practical Economist; Lincoln's Way Out; Lincoln and Roosevelt; The Prince of Crusaders. "Gerald Grattan McGeer 18881947 was a lawyer populist politician and monetary reform advocate in the Canadian province of British Columbia. He served as the 22nd Mayor of Vancouver a Member of the Legislative Assembly in BC Member of Parliament for the Liberal Party of Canada and in the Canadian Senate. In the early part of the Great Depression McGeer became a zealous student of economics and soon became obsessed with monetary reform as the answer to the economic crisis. He eventually came up with his own theories which he cobbled together from the work of John Maynard Keynes Abraham Lincoln and the Bible. On one occasion he hypothesized that international 'money power' was financing Communists activities in Vancouver. Another time he testified before the government that Abraham Lincoln was assassinated by international bankers opposed to the introduction of 'Greenbacks'. McGeer's lifelong mission was to attain a position where he could implement his reform ideas but his flamboyant aggressive and eccentric style and theories alienated the powerbrokers in his own party." - Wikipedia. 2 XIX 1 359 pp. Charts and tables.

xii, 341, vii, 313 pp. Index. Tables. First English Edition. "I intend to treat the economic relations of a whole social body as far as possible irrespective of its extension, its organisation, its laws of property, etc. The ultimate aim of economic science must be to discover those necessities which are of a purely economic nature and which cannot be arbitrarily mastered by the will of men. An intimate knowledge of these necessities is the first condition for Social Reformers being ever able to produce something more than cheap speculations on the economic organization of the future or costly disturbances of the very delicate machinery of present economic life." - Preface.

12995Paris, L. Hachette, 1863. (4), iv, 527, (1) pp. Large 8vo. Contemporary cloth-backed marbled boards, with label with gilt lettering, small loss of paper on rear cover. Einaudi 1364; Mattioli 794; New Palgrave, i, p. 708; Schumpeter p. 958. First edition, a reformulation in non-mathematical terms of his ideas exposed earlier in his seminal but at the time almost completely ignored Recherches sur les Principes Mathématiques de la Théorie des Richesses. Cournot was the first 'to visualize the general interdependence of all economic quantities and the necessity of representing this cosmos by a system of equations' (Schumpeter, p. 467). Cournot's first attempt to apply mathematics to the treatment of economic questions, his Recherches sur les Principes Mathématiques de la Théorie des Richesses, published in 1838, did not meet with much understanding due to the fact that the work contained many technicalities to which economists had been previously unaccustomed. The book therefore went almost unnoticed until its significance was recognized by Jevons, Walras and Marshall. In the Recherches Cournot treated only questions where mathematical analysis was applicable and therefore the product was not a complete treatise on political economy but a selection of contributions to various specific topics. In the present work the results are united thus stating his theory without the mathematics and developped into a systematic doctrine. - Neatly cancelled library stamp on half-title, tear in one blank corner of a leaf neatly repaired.

Par Monsieur de Surgy, ancien premier Commis des Finances, Censeur Royal & de l'Académie de Dijon, 3 vol. in-4 reliure de l'époque plein veau marbré, dos à 5 nerfs orné, Hôtel de Thou [ Panckoucke ], A Paris, 1789, 2 ff., 12-lx-685 pp. et 1 f. ; 2 ff., 787 pp. ; 2 ff., 797-xvii pp. Dans son long discours préliminaire, Rousselot de Surgy fait l'éloge de Colbert et de Sully, réclame une répartition équitables des impôts : "les grandes exactions diminuent les revenus publics, quoiqu'elles semblent d'abord les augmenter ; elles en tarissent les sources, détruisent l'agriculture et le commerce...". Pour cela, il propose d'établir un cadastre général permettant de rendre la taille réelle et de taxer les terres suivant leurs qualités et leurs produits. Bel exemplaire en très belle reliure d'époque de la très rare réédition, sous un nouveau titre, de la partie "Finances" de l'Encyclopédie méthodique, publiée par Panckoucke en 1784 (petits mq. en coiffes, très bonne restauration à un plat, mq. à un feuillet de garde volante, très petite mouill. sur une tranche en tête, très petit mq. de cuir sur un plat, qq. très petits frott. en reliure, superbe exemplaire par ailleurs). Dans notre version, les fautes qui étaient signalées en errata dans l'édition de 1784 pour les second et troisième volumes ont été corrigées directement dans le texte.
