Edizione originale. Collezione completa, eccezion fatta per i numeri 2 (presente in collezione un esatto facsimile) e 6, della prima e della seconda serie dei «Quaderni di Giustizia e Libertà”, per un totale di 10 fascicoli (+ 1 in facsimile). Brossure con normali segni d’usura e mancanze non deturpanti al dorso, ma nel complesso ottimi esemplari (il n. 11 in una emissione con brossura muta). Rarissimi nell’edizione originale del 1932 - 1935. Nati con l’intento di divulgare le posizioni politiche, d’ispirazione liberalsocialista, del Movimento Giustizia e Libertà - fondato a Parigi nel 1929 da un gruppo di antifascisti esiliati guidati principalmente da Carlo Rosselli ed Emilio Lussu - e di creare un programma concreto per la liberazione dell’Italia dal regime di Mussolini, i «Quaderni di “Giustizia e Libertà”» furono pubblicati dal gennaio 1932 al gennaio 1935 per un totale di 12 numeri suddivisi in due serie: la prima, con brossure - salvo il primo numero - di colore grigio; e la seconda, con brossure rosse e titoli neri. Con il numero 7 - ovvero il primo della seconda serie - il titolo cambiò in «Quaderno di Giustizia e Libertà». Stampati a Parigi, i fascicoli bimestrali furono anche un fondamentale strumento di comunicazione e scambio tra i membri di «Giustizia e Libertà» e gli altri movimenti e gruppi antifascisti italiani, promuovendo forme di ribellione pratica ma anche raffinate riflessioni sulle cause profonde della crisi politica e culturale italiana così da poter costruire un nuovo futuro, secondo il motto «Insorgere/Risorgere». Ripubblicati nel 1959 dalla casa editrice Bottega d’Erasmo, i “quaderni” si sono fatti rarissimi nell’edizione originale.

in-8, pp. (14), XVIII, 572, (4), leg.coeva in pergamena, parte superiore del dorso restaurata, con titolo su tassello moderno. Prima edizione. Importante è la parte dedicata all'analisi del sistema tributario, per il quale il Broggia avanza ragionevoli proposte di riforma fiscale sulla base di criteri di equità assoluta in rapporto alle effettive capacità contributive, sgravando le classi più misere. Le sue teorie possono essere considerate non solo un compendio della più importante letteratura sulle finanze pubbliche del XVIII secolo, ma anche anticipatrici della maggior parte di quella del XIX secolo. Il Broggia (1698-1767) subì, a causa delle sue idee, la proscrizione nell'isola di Pantelleria. Esemplare con alcuni quaderni bruniti.

14329Berlin, Verlag von R.L. Prager, 1889. Numerous tables and figures in the text. (2), viii, 277, (1, errata), (2, Vieweg und Sohn catalogue) pp. 8vo. Later half cloth, marbled boards, corners, gilt lettering to spine. Einaudi 2657; Mattioli 1479. Second issue of the very rare first edition, first published at Gossen's own expense by Vieweg in Brunswick (1854). Very few copies were sold and the book remained unnoticed for years. Shortly before his death, Gossen withdrew it from circulation and the unsold copies were returned to him. After the author had become famous, Vieweg's successor, Prager, bought this stock from Hermann Kortum (Gossen's nephew and professor of mathematics) and brought the work back on the market in 1889 with a new title page and as a 'new' edition.The importance of Gossen was brought to light by Jevons and Walras. In the second edition of The Theory of Political Economy Jevons included a generous acknowledgement of Gossen's priority 'as regards the general principles and method of the theory of Political Economy.''Gossen, though perhaps not quite a genius, had a brilliant, original and precise mind. With his one book, he moved constrained optimization into the centre of the theory of value and allocation, where it has since remained. With respect to economic content, his was probably the greatest single contribution to this theory in the 19th century' (New Palgrave, ii, p. 550-554).Inner margin of paste-downs and free first blanks reinforced with white cloth tape, two discrete stamps on verso of the title-page "Universitätsbibliothek Konstanz", two passages in the book with side marking.
Un volume (24 cm) di VIII-598-/4) pagine. In lingua russa. Legatura coeva in mezza percallina e tela nera. Usure alle cuffie, agli angoli e almargine dei piatti. L'opera riprende ed estende la tesi di dottorato di Ziber (1844-1888) comparsa nel 1871 col titolo (Trad. inglese) "Ricardo's theory of value and capital, in relation to the latest addittions and explanations" nel Bollettino dell'Università di Kiev (n. 1-2 e 4-11), che Marx citò assai positivamente nella prefazione alla seconda edizione del Libro Primo del Capitale. Si tratta in sostanza di una edizione originale, e come tale viene classificata nelle bibliografie (New Palgrave IV-4945). Professore di economia e statistica all'Università di Kiev dal 1873, due anni più tardi Ziber preferì emigrare a Berna. Nel 1884 tornò in Russia, dove proseguì fino alla morte i suoi studi e la pubblicazione dei suoi saggi che lo rendono uno dei principali economisti russi del XIX secolo, assieme a Storch e Cernicevski... “Ziber (1844-1888) was an outstanding Russian economist, one of the first publishing the economic doctrine of Marx in Russia. In 1871 as professor of political economy of the University of Kiev, he investigated the basic proposals of Marxian theory of value and capital, considering them as a later and necessary development of the doctrine of Smith and Ricardo. In 1885, this work, elaborated, returned to be published under the title of "Ricardo and Marx”, enhancing Marx's reputation in Russia and helping spread Marxian revolutionary ideas”.
In 8, cm 18 x 24,5, pp. 386 + (2 b.) + 26 (capitoli delle fere di Bisenzone) + (10) 2 b. con 1 ritratto fuori testo inciso all'acquaforte. Piena pergamena coeva con piccolo restauro al dorso. Edizione originale rara che presenta 1 carta bianca (Bb6) posta tra la fine del testo e l'aggiunta dei Capitoli delle fere... e 1 carta bianca (B6) tra i Capitoli e la tavola delle cose notabili, non presenti in molti esemplari. Presenta inoltre 1 tavola fuori testo incisa all'acquaforte raffigurante il Peri tra due cornucopie sormontato da una Grazia (Talia) e un cartiglio con la dicitura 'Gloria et divitiae' non presente in nessuno degli esemplari offerti in vendita negli ultimi anni e non citata nelle bibliografie consultate. La stessa incisione compare modificata in altro stato nell'edizione del 1651 de I frutti d'Albaro con l'aggiunta delle ali all'immagine della grazia e l'aggiunta di volumi alla base dell'incisione. A questa prima edizione ne seguirono molte altre, con aggiunte successive, in particolare nel 1647 usci' la seconda parte, nel 1651 la terza (I frutti d'Albaro) e nel 1665 la quarta. Altre edizioni furono pubblicate nel 1649, 1660, 1682, 1697, 1707, testimonianza del successo di quest'opera che viene considerata una delle prime e piu' significative tra quelle dedicate all' aritmetica mercantile e bancaria: '...e' notata dal Libri come una delle opere piu' interessanti per la storia dell'aritmetica bancaria...'. Il negotiante puo' considerarsi il primo testo di tecnica mercantile apparso in Italia. Il Peri fu un uomo d'affari assai colto e con grande esperienza di carattere commerciale. '...Oltre a consigli utili per la gestione delle imprese mercantili, contiene le notizie piu' varie, dalle formule della corrispondenza, agli esempi delle registrazioni a partita doppia, con riguardo anche a molte questioni di carattere giuridico compresa l'assicurazione'. Notevole l'interesse per il quadro che offre riguardo alle Fiere di Cambio, appuntamenti fissi che scandivano il calendario della finanza europea e dominate durante il XVI e XVII secolo dallo strapotere economico genovese. Queste Fiere, che in origine si svolgevano in Francia (il termine Bisenzone sta per Besancon), vennero man mano spostate verso i territori della citta' ligure, prima a Piacenza e poi a Novi e vi convergevano mercanti da tutta Europa onde esercitare il mercato del credito.

Bousquet ] Exceptionnel ensemble réunissant les 33 premiers "Rapports du Commissaire Général de la Société des Nations à Vienne" relatifs à la reconstruction financière de l'Autriche. Chacun des 3 tomes est dédicacé par le commissaire Zimmerman à son collaborateur G.-H. Bousquet ; nous joignons à cet ensemble remarquable la propre contribution du Docteur Bousquet à ce même sujet (dont la dédicace imprimée est offerte "Au Docteur A.-R. Zimmerman, ancien commissaire Général de la Société des Nations en Autriche, Hommage d'un admirateur et d'un témoin"). Bon ensemble (rel. lég. frottée, très bon état par ailleurs) de la plus grande rareté, provenant de la propre bibliothèque du professeur Georges-H. Bousquet. Le professeur Georges-Henri Bousquet (1900-1978), après une thèse en droit (1923) sur "L'évolution sociale en Hollande 1914-1922", devint un spécialiste de questions économiques. Ses missions à l'étranger, le conduisirent notamment à Vienne, peu de temps après sa thèse, dans le cadre de la mission de la SDN pour la restauration financière de l'Autriche. G.-H. Bousquet reste connu comme un économiste ami de Pareto et Schumpeter, ainsi que comme un islamisant de l'école de Goldziher et Snouck-Hugronje. Il fut notamment proche de son maître Vilfredo Pareto, dont il servit fortement la pensée et avec lequel il entretint une correspondance. Il connut personnellement, outre Joseph Schumpeter ou Pareto, d'aussi grands noms de la science économique tel que Irving Fisher ou Albert Aupetit, disciple de Léon Walras. On peut signaler que G.-H. Bousquet fut le chercheur français le plus cité dans l'Histoire de l’Analyse Economique de Schumpeter. Quant au docteur A-R. Zimmerman, il était l'ancien bourgmestre de Rotterdam. Les collaborateurs du commissaire général furent les suivants : Mrs J. de Bordes (Hollandais), Pierre Quesnay (Français), J.-H. Van Walré de Bordes (Hollandais), A. Pelt (Hollandais), ces trois derniers du secrétariat de Genève ; une fois retournés au secrétariat, ils furent remplacés par Mrs Rost Van Tonningen (Hollandais), Krabbé (Danois), celui-ci du Secrétariat, et G.-H.

195585736Cairo Egypt: N.B.E. Printing 1955. First Edition. First printing. Octavo. 24.5cm. Publisher's original white paper wraps with yapp edges titled in black to front wrap. 3; 60pp.; 24 bibliography to rear. Light wear and creasing to the yapp edges a little scuffing to the spine ends and some isolated minor soiling; internally clean and fresh. A Very Good clean copy indeed. <br /> <br /> A keystone piece of economic theory and a major influence upon the evolution of Free Market theory following on from Hayek's seminal "Profits Interest and Investment" 1939. In essence the "The Political Ideal of the Rule of Law" is an intellectually passionate defense of legal predictability equality before the law and limited government power as it relates to markets and commerce. Hayek's lectures portray these principles not only as essential for political liberty but also as the foundation of any healthy economic system. Extremely scarce in commerce with adequate holdings in institutions likely due to the publication's and Hayek's association with the University of Chicago. N.B.E. Printing unknown
1935426j0787Oxford: The Alden Press. Good in Fair dust jacket. 1935. First Edition. Hardcover. "The nom-de-plume 'A Fellow Pilgrim' masks the identity of Arthur Kitson one to whose credit stands the authorship of a whole series of authoritative works on economic and financial subjects. He here indulges his fancy by speculating how John Bunyan might have portrayed his hero Christian and his friends and what their encounters would have been had their pilgrimages been conducted during recent Great Depression-era years. Herein is much food for thought and perhaps a moral for the present troubled times." - dust jacket. "Kitson 1859-1937 invented the vaporised oil burner and held many patents. He became convinced Jewish bankers were the cause of his bankruptcy and most of the world's miseries. He formed the Economic Freedom League with Frederick Soddy and was active in this venture through the 1920s. 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 in 1937 Kitson was the second most influential fascist in Britain the first being Oswald Mosely. In his late years he was brought to Germany to consult with Nazi party economists." - Wikipedia. "Kitson was a close friend of Henry Hamilton Beamish of the Britons and Arnold Leese of the Imperial Fascist League and was the chief source for their economic ideas." - British Fascism p.105. 460 pages.

"Some years since I began a study of the Eugenics of War the hereditary effects of the systematic extermination by war of the bold and strong among the yeomanry of the nations of Europe. I soon found it necessary to consider also the 'Euthenics' of War the non-hereditary effects of the financial impoverishment of the rank and file of the people by the cost of war and war armament. This book is a preliminary survey of the elements involved in this subject." - Author's Prefatory Note. "David Starr Jordan 1851-1931 was the founding president of Stanford University a strong supporter of eugenics and an antimilitarist as he believed war killed off the best members of the gene pool." - Wikipedia.

"Offers a detailed examination of the economic and social impacts of competition during the height of the industrial revolution. Delves into the familiar facts of industrial life presenting a comprehensive analysis of how compeitive forces shape the marketplace and influence societal structures. Remains relevant for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the foundations of contemporary economic systems and the enduring challenges of balancing compeition with social well-being." - online review. "Sidney Armor Reeve 1866-1941 was a writer and professor of Steam and Hydraulic Engineering who held over fifty patents. He founded the scientific field of social energetics which was later expanded on by Frederick Soddy in his book 'The Role of Money.' He was inspired by reading Henry George to investigate sociology and came to the conclusion that the mathematics and reasoning which applied to entropy energy and thermodynamnics in steam boilers applied equally to the social body." - Wikipedia. "Although as early as 1909 he had assembled sufficient calculations and data to found a science of sociology Reeve was never permitted to lecture debate or present his theory thus meeting the same conspiracy of silence that greeted Henry George himself." - Irving M Kass in Land And Freedom January-February 1942. xx 617 p.
