1914020485Macmillan: 1914. Sept. 1914 first printing 233 pages. "Present-day discussion on the high cost of living shows some bewilderment in the mind of the general public as to the mechanism by which the scale of money prices is determined. Few people realize that the principles determining the general scale of prices are quite distinct from the principles determining the individual prices them themselves. The object of this book is to state as simply as possible the general principles which fix the scale of prices and to show the manner in which these principles apply to the present "high cost of living."" "For about a hundred years the world has been suffering from periodic changes in the scale of prices affecting the interests of hundreds of millions of human beings and producing alternate expansions and depressions of trade. It is not too much to say that the evils of a variable monetary standard are among the most serious economic evils with which civilization has to deal. In the United States we are about to witness some extremely interesting applications of the principles here stated owing to the great two acts passed by Congress toward the close of 1913 i.e. the tariff act and the currency act."

18212605<p>London: The Pamphleteer A.J. Valpy 1821. <br /><br />Scarce pamphlet featuring five letters by Jean Baptiste Say in response to "Principles of Political Economy" by Robert Thomas Malthus. Say 1767-1832 was a giant in free-market economics and wrote these letters criticizing the economic views of Malthus 1766-1834 whose "Principles of Political Economy" appeared in 1820.</p><p>Malthus of course was probably better known for his controversial earlier work "An Essay on the Principles of Population" in which he predicted that population growth would outstrip global food production leading to mass starvation and death. <br /><br />In terms of economics their disagreements centered on the causes of depressions. Both men wrote in the wake of the depression and high unemployment that followed the Napoleonic Wars hence the reference to "general stagnation of commerce" in the title of Say's collection of letters. Malthus believed that depressions were caused by general overproduction of goods while Say thought general gluts were impossible arguing that supply creates its own demand "Say's Law" as it's known to economists. <br /><br />This pamphlet was removed from a bound volume of "The Pamphleteer" a collection of pamphlets and speeches regularly issued by London printer and publisher A.J. Valpy. This piece was published in Vol. 17 No. 34 in 1821 one year following the publication of Malthus's book. <br /><br />The text of this pamphlet appeared as part of a longer work by Say "Letters to Mr. Malthus and A Catechism of Political Economy" issued in 1821 by Sherwood Neely and Jones of London. Chez Bossange in Paris issued the original French edition in 1820.<br /><br />This pamphlet is scarce in both the antiquarian book trade and in institututional holdings. OCLC shows about a dozen holdings in North America and Europe under different accession numbers.</p><p>PHYSICAL DETAILS: Octavo 8 x 5 1/8 inches; 203 x 130 mm 3 292-345 1 pages in sewn printed wrappers soft cover.<br /><br />CONDITION: Some creasing and evidence of water staining small tear near gutter of pages 321-322 not affecting text flaking to spine. Overall a Very Good copy.</p> The Pamphleteer [A.J. Valpy] paperback

1981237j1507USA: Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. Good. 1981. First Edition Thus. "Adapted from a story of the same title published in the September 1980 issue of The Ledger the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston's economic education newsletter." - inside front cover. Roota is a young girl who brings color to her previously colorless underground town. This seemingly innocuous comic format item has attained considerable prominence in the precious metals community due in great part to the research of investment commentator and prominent YouTuber Bix Weir. Weir posits that this work lays out the Road to Roota Theory "the Federal Reserve Bank's secret plot to destroy fiat money and return the United States to a Gold Standard." - tag line from one of his videos. 16 pages. Illustrated in color. Clean and unmarked with moderate wear. A quality example of this rare and intriguing item.; Illustrations; Sm 4to . Federal Reserve Bank of Boston unknown
1933163j1671London: Elliot Stock. Good. 1933. Second Impression. Paperback. "As a protest against those Statesmen and bankers who have asserted that 'No one could possibly have foretold the present World Crisis' Great Depression I and a few others have urged the republication of Mr. Arthur Kitson's Criticism of the Cunliffe Currency Committee's Report the recommendations of which the Lloyd George Coalition Government adopted. This Criticism was originally printed at the expense of Mr. Kitson and copies furnished to every member of that committee in January 1919 before the committee had made its final report. It will be seen that Mr. Kitson gave ample warnings of the inevitable results of the committee's recommendations and foretold the present crisis." - A.F. on page 7. "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 1925 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 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. 4 102 pp. Stated second impression.

Sei volumi di cm. 18,5, pp. 2.700 ca. complessive. Bella leg. originale in cart. ricoperto di carta dipinta (tipo Remondini) con titoli ms. su tasselli ai dorsi. Piccoli fregi xilografici ai frontespizi e molte tabelle ripiegate fuori testo. Una piccola mancanza all'angolo basso del piatto posteriore del quinto volume ed uno strappetto con mancanza ad una carta di testo. Ottima conservazione, marginoso, in barbe e parzialmente a fogli chiusi. Rara edizione apparsa lo stesso anno dell'originale. Cfr. Kress, 5691; Einaudi, 1927.
Cm. 29, pp. 76 + cc. (60) di dimostrazioni con 4 grandi prospetti ripiegati f.t. Legatura coeva in mezza pergamena, dorso a nervi con titoli in oro si tassello. Antichi forellini al dorso, peraltro esemplare genuino e amrginoso, a carte candide ed in ottimo stato di conservazione. Prima edizione di questo interessante resoconto economico che traccia l'operato di Leopoldo II. Cfr. Einaudi, 2668; Kress, 5305.
Cm. 32, pp. (12) 492. Marchio tipografico al frontespizio. Solida legatura coeva in piena pergamena rigida. Una nota di possesso ms. al frontespizio, qualche piccola gora marginale a poche carte, peraltro esemplare genuino ed in ottimo stato di conservazione. Fra le copie censite molte non presentano (come il nostro esemplare) l'antiporta ed il ritratto inciso dell'autore. Azzardiamo l'ipotesi che esistano due tirature che si distinguono appunto per la presenza o meno di queste due tavole. Il nostro esemplare comunque ne è privo (dall'origine?). Si tratta della seconda edizione, reimpressione della prima edizione del 1606 a essa identica (l'effettiva data di stampa del 1645 figura al colophon, il frontespizio riproduce la data e le indicazioni dell'edizione originale) di questa ampia trattazione di geometria pratica del piacentino Giulio Bassi, fra le più vaste pubblicate sino ad allora in Italia. Dei sette libri dell'opera, i primi tre trattano degli elementi fondamentali dell'aritmetica (radici quadrate, regola del tre, ecc.), il quarto delle Compagnie mercantili e rurali, il quinto di quesiti relativi a vendite e acquisti, il sesto dei cambi e il settimo, infine, di algebra, fortificazioni, artiglieria e questioni militari.
Sei volumi di cm. 20, pp. 3.000 ca. complessive. Con due tabelle ripiegate f.t. al terzo volume. Solida ed elegante legatura strettamente coeva in mezza pelle con punte, dorsi lisci con filetti in oro e titoli su doppi tasselli bicolore. Esemplare fresco ed in ottimo stato di conservazione. Con la firma di possesso di René-Guillaume-Jean Prevost (1749-1816) personalità della vita politica ginevrina e membro del consiglio di Stato. Prima edizione francese.
Due volumi di cm. 23, pp. xviii (2) 474; xvi, 502 (2). Con 3 tabelle più volte ripiegate e 9 tavole di monete incise in rame. Solida legatura strettamente coeva in piena pergamena rigida con titoli in oro impressi ai dorsi. Esemplare genuino ed in ottimo stato di conservazione. Non è presente il terzo volume apprso nel 1760. Cfr. Venturi (Illuministi italiani): "Opera fondamentale di storia economica contenente acute osservazioni di tecnica finanziaria e monetaria. Si trattava di una poderosa opera di erudizione, con pagine di acuta storia economica (ad esempio sull'influsso dell'oro americano sull'Europa alla fine del Cinquecento) e pagine di tecnica monetaria e finanziaria che rivelano la mano di un competente. Tali studi restano ancora oggi essenziali nel campo dei sistemi monetari e, sebbene si possono criticare per la loro superficialità, non furono mai approfonditi da altri". Cfr. anche Einaudi (897) e Kress (5334).
Quindici volumi di cm. 19, pp. 6.000 ca. complessive. Ottima legatura coeva in cart. alla rustica con nervi passanti. Esemplare particolarmente fresco e ben conservato. Marginoso ed in barbe. Prima edizione di questa vasta enciclopedia che tratta di ogni aspetto dell'economia rurale, con dettagliate informazioni delle pratiche di allevamento, della coltivazione di giardini, orti e vigne, nonché descrizioni di alberi e piante esotiche, tecniche di pesca e caccia. Cfr. Ceresoli (p. 251): "In questo dizionario i nomi degli uccelli, dei quadrupedi da caccia e dei pesci sono seguiti dalla descrizione dell'animale e del modo di cacciarlo o prenderlo. Gli attrezzi per la caccia e per la pesca e i metodi di Aucupio vi sono ampiamente descritti". Opera rara, soprattutto in tale, impeccabile stato di conservazione.
Tre volumi di cm. 19,5, pp. vi, clix (1) 352; vi, 536; (4) iv, 468. Con una tabella ripiegata al primo volume. Solida ed elegante legatura coeva in piena pelle, dorsi a nervi con titoli e ricchi fregi in oro. Tagli e sguardie marmorizzti. Esemplare particolarmente fresco e genuino. In ottimo stato di conservazione. Celebre opera di politica ed economia del banchiere svizzero Necker. Cfr. McCulloch: "The only authentic account of the finances of France previously to the Revolution".
Tre volumi di cm. 18, pp. cxiii (3) 384; (4) 404; xxxiv (2) 381 (3). Con ritratto dell'autore inciso in rame all'antiporta del primo volume ed una tabella più volte ripiegata. Solida ed elegante legatura coeva in mezza pelle, dorsi lisci con filetti e titoli in oro su tasselli. Esemplare particolarmente fresco e ben conservato. Edizione originale della traduzione italiana, assai rara.
Sette volumi di cm. 19, pp. 3.500 ca. complessive. Sette belle tavole raffiguranti episodi storici di Ch. Eisen e poste all'antiporta di ciascun volume e 7 grandi carte geografiche ripiegate fuori testo, il tutto finemente inciso in rame (carta dell'Europa, Africa orientale ed Asia. Carta delle due Americhe e Africa occidentale. Carta del Golfo del Messico, Antille e Sudamerica. Carta della parte nord dell'America settentrionale e Groenlandia). Solida legatura del tempo in piena pelle con dorsi lisci interamente decorati in oro. Minimi segni d'uso alle legature, peraltro esemplare fresco ed in ottimo stato di conservazione. Manca (dall'origine?) il ritratto dell'autore. Importante edizione di questo classico della storiografia illuminista settecentesca, ed opera principale del politico francese Raynal con la quale si attirò l'ira di Luigi XVI. In essa infatti si attaccano violentemente sia l'operare dei colonizzatori che quello della chiesa nelle Indie Occidentali e Orientali, ben evidenziando un'attitudine antischiavista. Questi furono i motivi per cui fu presto messa all'indice. Non trascurabile anche per l'attenta descrizione delle attività economiche del tempo.
